Gemini Twin So if they lived 190 km away they are supposed to travel back and forth every day from home???
Yes. Just like ANY company, Qantas don't care where you live, as long as you get to work. Why is it Q's problem where YOU choose to live?
Some Q pilots live in NZ and Bali. If they CHOOSE to do that, why should the company be responsible for there travel arrangements?
You are BASED at a particular location and are expected to get to work. If Q need you to train in A DIFFERENT location to your BASING they will cover costs of accommodation etc, because THEY have 'made' you relocate (temporarily) for the training period. (Remember, if your personal circumstances dictate, you don't have to take the training slot - RIN excepted, and as a 'commuter' that is a gamble you take.)
Get real fellas, IF these guys have claimed money (not some obscure allowance) that they are not entitled to, they are committing fraud.
Yes, the info SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN MADE PUBLIC, but we are dealing with two SEPERATE issues here, the alleged fraud AND the alleged company privacy breech (for what APPEARS to be industrial reasons).
V-jet: big assumption that these people have had a 20 year career of exemplary service, they might just have been rorting the system for all these years and have finally got caught!
Stop putting in emotion and wait for facts before tainting either side with particular traits.
