Ralph,
Right on brother. About time someone jumped into this thread with a dose of reality.
Cap xxxx,
Many pilots applying to
VB refused to pay for training - me included. Guess what. I was almost knocked over in the rush of people with cash in hand.
Elektra,
“Decent conditions, salaries and industry safety standards…”. Why do lump standards in with salaries.
VB haven’t parked an aeroplane on a golf course.
Going Boeing,
Do you think maybe the QF legal folk have thought of that before obtaining aircraft and employing crew?
All the “thin edge of the wedge” comments do little for the debate. A competitor with a lower cost base has entered the market. Clearly, this will inflict damage on QF as previously its only domestic competitor had a higher cost base.
What proactive steps did AIPA take to fend off the challenge from
VB?
