Tuner,
Come bonus time, I might re visit my options. Good idea.
Alan has been largely saved by the fall in the AUD and the fall in the fuel price. Some staff cuts in line with a fleet reduction has assisted, however the macroeconomic climate has done the heavy lifting.
Still Qantas fortunes have reversed and international can now do some heavy lifting for the group as the AUD falls, yields go up, and the foreign visitors increase.
Interestingly when the 4 year B scale, sorry "Future Captain" pay was introduced in the 2005 SH EBA, SH tech crew got access to the executive remuneration program as an offset for a B scale.
Sorry done it again, "future Captain" rate.
