Hey camel. Lets cut to the chase,
What is the 12 month loss going to be? $800 mill maybe?
So if you averaged 2200 long haul pilots at 200k you will see there is still a big hole. I'm not sure of the exact lame numbers but you might be able to get my drift.
Even if all the engineers and pilots worked for nothing, Qantas would still loose money. Do you get that? Ie, if Alan's figures are to be believed, no profit.
It's the strategies that have a far greater impact than salaries.
We all agree that efficiencies should always be looked for, but the fact is the strategies are what have decimated the share price, yield, customer loyalty and growth.
