So what does the survey really say???
Qantas engineers should be on the same pay and conditions as Alliance???
I think you miss the point. It's a benchmarking tool. They are ineffective if they're only measuring themselves. Very effective when compared to other employers in the same industry.
What you can take from it is, Alliance and Virgin have management which get it, they know how to run profitable businesses whilst keeping all stakeholders happy.
Qantas on the other hand, whilst profitable, seem to fall short on public and staff relations. The big airlines, especially Qantas seem to make their internal engagement surveys a big part of gauging their performance. That's useless when you're comparing how good you are to yourself. Olivia can spin however she wants, if the executive 'team' at Qantas want to stick their heads in the sand at this result and pretend its just rumor, innuendo and SP up to his old tricks again... all the best to them. Hopefully the shareholders hold them to account for their ignorance.
One thing we can take from all of this is that more money does not equal happiness... It's probably detrimental after a certain point.
Just be concerned about ATC and Jetstar tech crew attitudes in regards to how they feel about how their management view safety and reporting of incidents. Now that's scary.
