Qantas bans tima9x youtube channel

Well guys & gals after ten months with over 160,000 hits the legal eagles at Q finally got me. I wish to thank all at the ABC news, Sky news, Channel 10 news, my team of muso's and the many others who helped me in gathering the news clips that Qantas didn't like, the real story behind the spin. Lastly, youtube (google) and all of you on here with the encouragement and support.

I will do all I can to help with your battles but I and my team have been sidelined by the dark side for the foreseeable future. Until then, I wish you all the best a luck, you have a lot of support out there.

I and my team have been sidelined by the dark side for the foreseeable future.

As it turns out, I have been allowed to continue... I post these videos for the staff who are out of the country so they can view on pprune when they return. I am very grateful for the support from our ABC, may the force be with you all...

This was last nights 7.30 report for those who missed it.

Welcome back TIMA9X,
The link to the 7:30 report sadly contained more nauseating dribble from GT. And AJ's rhetoric about protecting QF's future was yet again the same worn out beaten around method of blaming his workforce for any current and future insecurity or profit loss.
At the end of the day the current unresolved mess along with all associated past and present grievances, as well as share price devaluation, poor decision making and even cartel activities are the CEO's accountability. He can blame staff, unions and others as much as he wants but HE is accountable. But dear shareholder, don't forget WHO put him there, the board did, so when you are at the AGM tonight do think about not only the performance o the CEO over the past 3 years, but also the actions of what the board has done over the past 3 years, including appointing AJ to the CEO position.
It is time to act to prevent a further demise of this iconic airline and turn things around and look to the 90 years ahead and the possibilities that abound. It is time for new direction, new blood, new ideas, new strategy and ACCOUNTABILITY. That time is now.

"just about everybody agrees that the pilots and engineers are about the best in the world....."

Strewth.

[SixDemonBag]

So AJ and justify there pay by stating it's 'in line with the top asx 50'. But the best engineers and pilots (as claimed by himself) are overpaid in a global comparison?

Nice one.

[Mr Leslie Chow]

So of you look at the big picture now, management's ego won't stop them at no costs and they ONLY will take the Govt intervening for there to be resolution.

Proof of this is clear but is reinforced by the likes of said 'journalist' now sprucing it.

The lack of respect for a workforce is astounding and unforgettable.....

[another superlame]

So what's it gunna be today?

A bloodbath

or

The status quo remains with no change and all board members positions in tact.

[neville_nobody]

Does Geoffry Thomas realise that most of these so-called competitors to QF are government sponsored shams operating either tax free, or with very generous work laws etc. Or in the case of Air NZ bailed out by the tax payer.

Qantas warns unions to accept shareholders’ vote

Haven't seen this posted yet:

Qantas warns unions to accept shareholders

A couple of quotes (from the author, Geoffrey Thomas):

Qantas (QF) has warned the three unions at the center of the airline’s industrial turmoil to accept the shareholders’ vote at Friday’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) and stop trashing the airline.

Joyce challenged the unions to “accept the decision of shareholders,” which is expected to be a near-unanimous vote in favor of the airline’s strategy to broaden it horizons and invest in major growth opportunities in Asia with joint venture partners.

How does he know that the vote will be "near-unanimous"?

An answer to the state premiers sucking up to QF.

[simsalabim]

Link working well . The spin is incredible.

[SimonBl]

This is the first time I have watched an AGM, ever. Can't you be jailed for telling fibs?

[AWB_Clerk]

They have been telling fibs for years, why stop now?

AWBC

[neville_nobody]

Noone on the board had knowledge of the Freight cartel........

Really?

There is a judge in the states who had a different opinion on that however due to Australian law nothing could be done about it.

[SimonBl]

First question/commenter started with "I am pleased to hear that Mr Joyce is so pleased with himself" - to great applause...

[piston broke again]

Had a chuckle at that myself!
