Management In Charge..
4. The grounding of the fleet was particularly thoughtful of management.
Wrong............It was to create a scenario that instantly damaged the economy......rapidly. Hence the available trigger to ask for termination. It didn't have anything to do with safety.

A bullet to the guts of all Australians no matter who they fly with or who they work for. Designed to cause mass panic and destruction in the shortest possible time frame. Delivered or fired by the management of Qantas.

All because it was starting to get difficult for them. Well guess what? The questions are being asked and the facts are starting to come out.
Qantas, backed by big business, as Alan Joyce has already acknowledge with his statement that he has lots of emails of support from them, was hoping to paint the fair work legislation as a failure. Well they are going to be proven radically wrong in the next few days.

I've never been a supporter of Gillard nor Albanese, however, question time today was enthralling. Their responses to the questions highlighted the massive gap between the liberal party and themselves.

Tony Abbott better learn pretty quickly that this has nothing to do with big bad unions. And continuing with this line of questioning is only going to highlight their complete misunderstanding of the fair work legislation and understanding of the whole drama. They looked like the amateurs today.
Up until yesterday I thought there wasn't a hope in hell for Gillard in the next election, but Qantas has handed her a lifeline of massive proportions by their stupid act. Now fair work legislation/work choices is front and centre, and the average Australian will quickly work out what the big end of town really stands for.(again) Themselves.

Nice one Alan.
Brilliant strategy.

P.S. Really looking forward to flying again tomorrow. Can someone tape question time? Thanks for offering management in charge.
