It must be time for a new aircraft in the SH fleet, after all the little General apparently loves the A320 'containerised' freight and he has 110 of them for those mythical Asian JQfranchises, that Boston Bruce reckoned would need up to 450 by 2020...
So let me see which QF Flight Operations Manager (jockeying for a position) will spread the rumour (never in writing of course) that unless substantial savings are made, QF pilots will lose the flying to .........(insert subsidiary here).......Just like a 787 crew rest that although agreed to in a contract kiddies, ratified by FWA is somehow threatening the 'career' of those left at the once proud Qantas
Straight out of the playbook, and oh so predictable, but the pilots fall for the same three card trick every time...Will they again? HR and IR are taking bets....
The magic eight ball says of course they will!
