I would argue that the inefficiencies of employees are the result of their contracts and the inefficient running of the business. I know pilots would be happy to be more efficient, but its impossible with all the forced leave. Pilots want to fly and work hard for the company. The discrepancies in fleet pay should be changed. A380 second officers make far too much money for what they do (no offence, this is not personal).There are many things that could and should be sorted out, but management have not been interested. And how about the all those inefficiencies of planes sitting on the ground for Jetstar Asia? And the financial waste of freight cartel fines etc. Its inefficiency from the top and trickles down.
But the writing is on the wall now, Qantas employees are just a political football.
