I'd love Qantas LAME wages to match those at Virgin. Virgin pay more.


....and as for those calling on changes to the Qantas Sale Act, what are you thinking? Qantas is currently 38% foreign owned and the cap is at 49%. Qantas are so poorly managed that no foreigner wants to invest in it.


The only way a change to the Act would become attractive is if the 49% is increased so foreign entities (most likely an airline) could take complete control. Then they could ditch Qantas flights that compete with their routes (say CZ), strip the assets out of the company, place fuel and other bills on the Qantas tab and generally turn it into another Ansett.


The current Qantas Board are so inept though, they are already allowing EK to rape and pillage as they please. ie Qantas flights that compete with EK dropped from Per, Adl and Fra.
