Let me be clear here. Qantas is justifiably proud of its history of safety and quality.
That's probably true. It's just that Management these days don't know what safety and quality is, let alone how to build on it.
I really don't know what you are upset about though. The Chairman's Club lounges are fantastic (some of them are even in ports that Qantas still flies to!!) and those cattle trucks going off to Poland surely aren't all that uncomfortable!!!
