Bruce Buchannan and other assorted Jetstar executives were indeed sighted holding meetings in a Singapore hotel a week or so back. Couldn't say what the subject of their meetings, with other un-identified people, was all about.


Heard it might be regarding Singapore line maintenance contracts but, your guess is as good as mine.

"Managers missing in action"

It's a pity DM hasn't gone missing in action. I can't believe that QE management have rolled him out to try and convince LAMEs to vote no. After his record (still remember reading the court transcripts) from last pia, I think his efforts in the last week has converted a few no votes to the yes side of the argument.

It's a big YES vote from me. 100% maintained.

Are you commenting on the fact that there will be more money in the kitty because they are cutting the 'fat' out of the management ranks?
or
Are you commenting on the fact that in Feb Jet* Domestic Seat Revenue decreased by 5%, and, Jet* International decreased by almost 5% while Qantas International increased it's seat revenue percentage?

Nothing to do with Qantas mainline, Jetstar is 'totally separate', remember!

Either way the PIA ballot is about giving a bargaining chip to the ALAEA because QE management refuse to negotiate. 6 months of negotiating achieved nothing, application for PIA and we got an incomplete offer.

Maybe Old Ianmeadow's consultancy might get the chop!

In 2008 when Qantas made a record profit the situation was as such.

Fuel $147 US a barrel. Dollar .89 - .96.

With fuel so cheap now, what the hell are they whinging about?

Well here we are another week of the IRISH crying poor.

Interesting article in the news paper today, top 9 execs at Q so proud of posting profit gave themselves big back slap and 58% increase in wages.

So lets see 58% of 4 mil = 2.32 mil nice bonus to make the next year more bearable - should cover the cost of living increases.

Staff increase 3% example wage 61000 = 1830 nearly covers increase in electricity and water. Doesn't cover fuel and groceries. damn get over it.
You work for the caring sharing Q management.
