Okay 88, how about providing some figures to support your argument and give other readers your thoughts on what they should be paid. I gather that you have the figures to support your argument don't you? What percentage of the companies costs are due to these overpaid people? Please enlighten us all.

People get your facts straight.
No one has attacked any one of you here personally.

This is the problem at Qantas, even their front line staff are just as arrogant as Geoff Dixon!
He is simply anti QF and thinks that QF staff are overpaid.... That could be because he is anti union....or perhaps did not get a job with QF ..or works for another carrier that pays less and therefore is simply jealous....
Where is that ignore button again...

As with all trolls, I give them the benefit of the doubt but when it becomes obvious what they are really here for........
This message is hidden because iriver88 is on your ignore list.

The 380 could not have come at a worse time. Just as Virgin starts a Syd-USA service, and with Delta also about to start soon. At least they will be operating the B777 which will not be as hard to fill. The 380 maybe a beaut plane during boom times, however during a global recession, a recipe for disaster as they are harder to fill. AJ and GD's original numbers for A380 and B787 orders seemed a little ambitious/outrageous at the time. Our tourism industry could never supply that capacity.

As an airline operating a far older fleet of aircraft than it's international and domestic competition does the term "fleet replacement" mean anything to you?

You mean the 65-115 B787 aircraft to replace some of the QF fleet, and Jetstar's 6 A330's. Thats more than just fleet replacement mate (you don't need to be a Einstein to figure that out). And thats not even taking other aircraft types into consideration yet.
Either way, call it capacity growth or fleet replacement, it is still a tall order. The worlds economic position is obviously lost on some people I in here I guess.

It seems that some people around here have come to the conclusion that WFC is not an aberration but rather something far more permanent.
One would almost imagine by your comments Ngineer that QF's decision to upgrade it's fleet and increase capacity is all going to happen now. In the depths of what most seem to consider a "downturn", from which an inevitable recovery will flow.
Given that QF currently operate 29 767s with an average age over 16 years I would have thought the firm orders for 65 787s [shared with Jetstar] not "outrageous" especially given that the process of re-equipping is going to extend beyond 2020.
It doesn't take an Einstein to see beyond this current downturn.

what are you trying to achieve?
I have observed this forum for a very long time, and the posts from this person are the most obtuse I have ever seen, to say the least. I would suggest mods to remove them as they acheve little, and add nothing to what has so far been a mostly productive discission from concerned staff and customers. This person appears to have a personal vendetta, and the last large post was so weird, well, what can I say? Jet blast perhaps?

CASA says they would not clear this pilot now.
Capt Kremin said
I hope his aircraft navigation is more accurate than his links.
The correct one is http://www.qantaspilot.com
Now that Professor Jonathan Phillips has said that it was very irresponsible of Qantas to clear this pilot to continue flying and that CASA said that under the ANO's they would not now clear a pilot with the same conditions, WHY do Qantas try and defend their actions when it is in black and white that they ignored the ANO's.
How many more rules will they ignore to save money for the directors?

I haven't seen iriver88's posting history, so I was going to respond to his rant here as seriously as I could, given the sheer quantity of rubbish in it.
Then I read his 2nd last post.
Then I realised he has personal "issues" which make a response pointless.
