380's are departing daily short crewed. QF response is to increase the size of the AKL base in the next few months to cover this. Crew have to be paxed to and from AKL as there are no wide bodies flown over the pond. They can't get the qal crew on 747s etc to transfer because of the crap conditions. Motivation is low. This is a problem whether bun tossers, bag chuckers or whatever in the company. B scale wages contributes to management bonus, not productivity.
