Qantas management today have costed their ideological decision to fight instead of negotiate with their staff at $250m. That cost doesn't include damage to brand, cost of disengaged staff, or future settlement costs.
Having trashed the airline (a topic the above is only a fraction of) all MP can come up with is "YOU LOSE". For QF management this has been a bit of a game to which they had access to the bank account to spend as they liked. They did but QANTAS WAS THE LOSER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
