All I know is every day I wake up and read that Alan Joyce is the CEO of Qantas is another day I get to keep my job at Virgin.
Seriously, how can you go from the position of total monopoly to their current one?
3 years ago it was the same announcement of 5000 job losses at QF which coincided with Red Q and other industrial arguments which ended in the closure of the airline for a period of time. No pilots were made redundant that time. I wonder what's behind it this time. Words like "work choices" and "wharf dispute" come to mind.
Interesting watching Jeff Kennett sprouting his two cents worth the other day. I guess the ultimate end game are American low cost conditions.
