Qantas/Emirates Alliance
How many Qantas jobs will this cost?
It may be beneficial to get better access to Europe but NO amount of spin will cover up that there will be job losses with duplication.
Is this better fro the Qantas brand?..... marginally, but customer trust is an asset that takes years to build up and a grounding to destroy in one day.
Joyce must live in a vacuum if he thinks that it will come back in a flurry with this deal.
Emirates customers must be thinking "Will I be happy on a Qantas flight?".
I would like to think that there are real benefits to Qantas staff with this deal, but I think that there is going to be more fear than favours.
What strikes me as curious was the fact that emerged at the end of the Emirates statement that the agreement was signed only 30 minutes before the press conference.
