Qantas looking overseas for workers (SMH)
I was of course referring to the particular way that Air New Zealand are going about it - surely that was obvious.
One day each month, each senior executive spends the day doing either check in, baggage handling, or flight attendant duties.
I believe there are no other airlines that are doing this, so this clearly is an experiment in airline employer/employee relations.

I believe Southwest Airlines have been doing this for some time and Gordon Bethune's turnaround of Continental, after the Lorenzo disaster, may make interesting reading for someone interested in effective airline management.
Lowerlobe,
Yes sadly this is no 'Endeavour' and not even 'Bounty' which we crew and which might physically bound us all together.
No, the leaders have their chests of gold neatly stowed away and will soon retire, not flounder, on that a tropical coast and ski with a yen for sport on frozen plains and lily white slopes.
Perhaps it's more the shame we can not storm the masters cabin, alas Little Johnny's guards have had pistols drawn in defence for some time now.
It may be, after Saturday, their powder will not be so dry - Folly thoe to forget who made us walk the plank last time we stirred their nest.
I hear talk of FOG soon, ahhhg! wouldn't that be nice then.

Yes it's FOG and it's also "Hello" as his new "endeavour" will supply cheap contract labour to Qantas and sort out that pesky FAAA and it's overpriced crew . The only "bounty" here is a bounty of cash for GD and PG. BAH ! HUMBUG ! ...must be getting close to Christmas...
