Hey Sky Princess, be careful with judging what evacuate had to say. I read into it that she was concerned about the war!
As for the whole ex ansett bashing, its just rediculous.
its like saying to someone, "you cant take feedback". what comeback has that person got? the minute they say anything, its proved they indeed cant take feedback. same thing with ex ansett bashing. the minute one ex ansett person shares how they feel, well, alot of people say the same things you and G. khan have said.
what about the Qantas policy of "inviting" applicants to go through to do medical checks, criminal history checks, bring vaccinations up to date, and then, even if the outcome is all clear, they send you a no thank you letter. what do you make of that?
had the unions and JOHN HOWARD got together, im sure Qantas could have taken all ex ansett staff plus hired off the street.
now, having said that, would your reaction be different if those statements came from a person with no previous flying experience as opposed to an ex ansett staff member?
another thing, everyone has to work to get where they want to go. its is unfortunate that some ex ansett staff who got into Qantas, had attitude. telling trainers "oh, we did it different at ansett". all ex ansett people know who those people are, and its so unfair, they are the ones making it difficult for you evauate!
have you heard the joke, "How can you tell an ex ansett flight flight attendant is working at Qantas?"
A. " they will tell you". hhahahah, funny, but please dont place every ex ansett person into the same boat.
as for the PM, love him, or hate him, you will get your say at the next election.
None wants war, and we hope its over and we can all live in peace.
evacuate, i totaly feel for you and wish you all the success in the world.
