Please someone correct me if I'm wrong here.
The Australian dollar has dropped 15 percent against the US dollar in the last year, effectively giving Qantas a 15 percent drop in wages relative to overseas MROs. How do they then put their biggest ever loss down to overpaid workers. I would have expected to see this figure offsetting their fuel bill, leaving their profit stable.
Methinks the boards strategy is wholly to blame for their predicament. Alan and Leigh have to go. There are plenty of Australians who would love the opportunity to bring Qantas back to the great airline it once was. Give them a go and get rid of these leeches running the show at the moment.
