QF- Corporate affairs appointment

[PPRuNeUser0198]

Guys - I'd be very careful with all this public slander...you're putting yourself at risk for a nice case of libel...

[SIUYA]

T-Vasis...........

Slander or libel? There's a difference.

In its 1996 report on defamation law, the A.C.T. Community Law Reform Committee outlined defamation as follows:

"Defamation is the publication of words or images to a person that damages the reputation of another ['slander' if spoken words, 'libel' if written words or images].

There are however, defences that may be successfully pleaded in relation to a defamation action. Those defences vary throughout Australian jurisdictions, but can can include:

• truth/justification
• fair comment (e.g. an expression of an honestly held opinion or a criticism on a subject matter of public interest) .

Based on the person's past performance, I have an HONEST opinion that that person in question is NOT capable of doing the job.

I'm in NSW. Where's that leave me?

I have a sneaking feeling that David Epstein left after realising that the chasm between the image Qantas wanted him to portray and the reality of what Qantas was going to become was unbridgeable.

It is going to become increasingly difficult to portray Qantas as an asset to Australia and a national icon while off-shoring pilots, maintenance and cabin crew.

I can see the headline now after a QF overrun, fire and evacuation at an Australian airport; "Flight Attendants Couldn't Speak English - Passengers Claim".

Expose the Lie

As a Qantas CSM of some 27 years tenure I can no longer work for a company whose product is a lie.Qantas CC are not provided with the resources to deliver the excellent service we would like to offer.
The KPIs I am required to meet are unobtainable.I can no longer motivate myself to apologize to passengers for problems that are not of my making.
The place is shambles.....poor quality food(and not enough of it)Cabin interiors that are falling apart;an IFE system that still fails;not enough CC to provide an acceptable level of service.....we try hard,very hard....but we are set up to fail.
I am now embarrassed to say that I am a Qantas employee.Pilots have skills that I dont.They have a love of flying and aircraft.There is more at stake for pilots than there is for me.I love the job but no longer the company.
Come july one I am gone.I can no longer work for inept,nasty fools.
Sunfish has nailed it once again.
For all the pilots whose company I have enjoyed(and those I haven't) over the years I can only say.....keep the rage.....fight the good fight and show Australians what Qantas management is doing to the Airline and the Australian workforce
Expose the lie

High Court

T-Vasis and SIUYA


I draw your attention to this High Court of Australia Decision

Dow Jones & Company Inc. v Gutnick [2002] HCA 56 (10 December 2002)

Mike

[SIUYA]

Thanks mmciau.

I also draw your attention to 174(d) with respect to the respondent's (Mr Gutnick's) claim for punitive damages in reliance upon:

The [appellant - Dow Jones & Company] published the words without any honest belief in the truth of the imputations alleged, ... alternatively, recklessly, not caring whether the imputations were true or false.

My bolding.

Irrespective of the High Court decision, I still have an HONEST opinion [belief] that that person in question is NOT capable of doing the job.

Is she related to Darth ? Similar disposition, demeanor, scoul and cold hearted stare, you know, the dominatrix look.
Then again, something very sexy about that....

[Worrals in the wilds]

The KPIs I am required to meet are unobtainable.

I head the exact same statement from someone who (for the moment ) works for the Colorado Group. They also said that the whole thing was run by recently graduated beancounters who had NFI about apparel retail and continually blamed the staff for poor sales...the same staff whose suggestions were continually ignored.

Sound familiar?

Of course the Colorado Group has recently come to a very sticky end and there are no takers for the flagship Colorado stores that were once successful and well regarded.

Cactusjack, there are clubs for that sort of thing. You probably already knew that.

Cactusjack, there are clubs for that sort of thing. You probably already knew that.

Correct. The Hellfire Club ! (dont take the family though)

[Worrals in the wilds]

Down in the Valley opposite St Patricks, IIRC. Always used to be a big queue of patrons in overcoats (even in a Brisbane summer).
The coats covered up the costumes . Don't run into the family may have been more of a key issue
(Sorry, back to your regularly scheduled QANTAS thread)...
