I met a QF hostie the other day while on staff travel - she was also NZ based telling me she regularly does trips as detailed above (pax to syd then Dfw/sin/joburg etc), however she is NOT employed by qantas as someone mentioned above, she (and I guess all/most?) is employed by Jetconnect - true story. So looks like QF are doing the same illegal deal as JQ - bring in foreign crew employed by external company and work them from oz, then send them home - foreign pay/conditions/no oz tax/etc etc etc!
