Don,
On the money, the 'lost decade' at Qantas is widely spoken of.
2004 a JQ new start as indicated in the MOU is now a 787 Captain.
2004 a Qantas new hire is now a 737 FO.
The 'JQ to the world' strategy was an abject failure, the lockout and biggest manufactured financial loss Qantas' history worked for a bit, but Alan didn't achieve much.
Is it any wonder most pilots just ignore communication from 'management' and do their day to day thing?
Once the trust was broken (management chose to do that) and with the current bunch of insipid fools remaining for the 'transformation' no amount of mandatory 'next step together crap'days, implied threats or such will ever repair the trust.
