This from an article in 2011:
QANTAS had no option but to ground its fleet before its move to lock out thousands of staff due to the ''quite substantial'' safety risks from angry, fatigued and distracted workers, the airline said.
A senior executive, Lyell Strambi, told a Fair Work Australia hearing there was even a risk of staff damaging aircraft in response to the lockout, or of conflict in the cockpit.
Mr Strambi, who has personal liability for safety issues, said the planned lockout ''fundamentally changed'' safety risks.
Seemed important when you weren't getting your way Alan, what's different now you are? You have deliberately created a group of very "angry, fatigued and distracted" workers! Why is safety so far down on your list of priorities this time?
CASA.......Anyone home?
