I would like to vote for the carbon rod as well.
Something that shouldn't be forgotten:- When FWA terminated industrial action after the grounding of a couple of years ago, Joyce and Wirth did a lot of trumpeting about how this was an endorsement of 'management's right to manage'. So if they've had a couple of years where their 'right to manage' has been unchallenged (and during which we've had constant self-congratulatory statements from them about how 'our strategy is working', etc), then maybe it's time they stopped blaming everyone else and took a bit of responsibility for cocking it up.
Let's also not forget that less than ten years ago, Qantas was in a very strong position, with little domestic competition and having got through SARS, 9/11 etc in much better shape than plenty of other airlines out there. Sure it's had to cope with a few things in the meantime (though it's not as if QF was the only company to be affected by the GFC), but even so, they've managed to stuff this up in an amazingly short period of time.
