Wow,
I fly with people who have come from QF, EK, VS, CX etc.
The paradigm has shifted.
There are no more airlines. They are just a business and if you are at the coal face you are a cost unit, a liability that must be reduced.
QF have mastered the "“turn off” your employees" shift and CX are working on it at flank.
P.S. "Dad, what's coal"?
