For those of you arguing the 'fairness' aspect (eg. JQ = qantas bashing, why not so with TT)...
Be realistic - Qantas management has run a campaign spanning the better part of two decades, targeting wages and conditions amongst it's own staff. As an ex BNE SH QF flightie, I worked numerous flights to HKG and SIN whereby, amongst the crew, there were too many contracts/ ebas / agreements with the company to count or make any sense...
Yes, we were all doing the same job, but we were all being screwed by management. The same management that has driven said airline into the ground.
The difference between QF and VA - Borghetti actually understands the power of the LCC. YES - there is a place for tiger at OOL (If you don't get that one, you've missed a lot!).
The difference between Borghetti and Joyce is the overall proportion of budget vs full service.
Anyone who has spent more than a few minutes behind the iron curtain on any OOL flight will understand that those wired coke heads love a cheap flight, just about as much as those wanky caviar munching bignoters love the opportunity for an upgrade to Business.
Borghetti has a better balance than Joyce - easily.
