writing on the wall
guess the reason that the first batch of 787 to arrive will be going to jetstar is to drive down the operating costs of mainline. Soon there will only be two white rats flying ,One to lax and One to lhr .get ready for your new orange star uniform but hey I like the shorts .

Re: writing on the wall
chemical alli, don't be discouraged. You'll get to meet all types here. Just wait till the grammer and spelling police get hold of you. You need a THICK, THICK skin to enter here. As to the tactics Dixon has on his game plan who knows, but I give you 10/10 for recognising that that may be one of the possibilities, and anyone who takes you to task over your statement may perhaps have their head stuck in the sand with regard to realities of todays world. The tub thumping, rock throwing and chest beating that goes on on these pages re the relative merits of QANTAS/Virgin/Jetstar will keep you amused for many a wet Sunday. And don't whatever you do, mention pre/post 89.

Re: writing on the wall
Whats to worry about? Give it a few years and the only writing on the wall I can see is that Jetstar won't exist. There will be a rebranding of Jetstar into QF colours again, a swag of emotive TV ads, the unions will be busted and all you kiddies will have to play nice together in the crew rooms!

Re: writing on the wall
Arh, good to see... a short, sharp and direct volley of shots in rally... with a truthfull and superb overhead smash from Howard Hughes to finish 
Kinda gets you ready for the Oz Open in Melbourne.
Chemical alli though, you are dead right (I consider) and this has been suspected by the QF Regional drivers, sitting back and watching for sometime now, back prior to Nopulse coming under the banner and AO starting... it's a continuous establishment of new business ideas in order to drive down QFs' Labour Costs (note: labour not seen as an asset by them!).
Funny thing is there is an enormous waste of funds: for example, what was once known as Qantas Engineering, changed to "ETOMS"...guess what? some bright spark has come up with the idea of renaming this section "Qantas Engineering"

Re: Unions
So get ahead of the game. GD has been complaining for years about the number of unions that have to be treated with kid's gloves anytime a change is proposed. Now he's busting them en masse, or at least driving them down the road to irrelevancy. Organize a single union for Qantas, stick a diehard on the board and a couple in upper management and voila!
There goes another pig at FL150.

Ahhhh, yes, now I remember. I believe Geoff has just had a big dinner with Bob Hawke. Johnny Howard was there too, but Abels was running late and did'nt make it. !!
