You got in one!

All you blokes have got to let go, you will end up getting sick. The company doesn't give a fat rats @rse about you guys. Just do your job and grab the dough at the end of the day. Otherwise, do yourselves and your families a favour and LEAVE.

I nearly didn't do it at all, not sure how to put the lack of engagement to them.

I wonder if they would care if you ran the same survey across Virgin and other employers and compared it to Qf then had the results published in the papers?

Sadly I agree with MudSkipper and Baxter.

All the pilots I know - myself included - had a deep, emotional attachment to QANTAS even before they joined. For many, it was the culmination of years of work that started with a love of flying and a love of the icon that was QANTAS.

The process that is occurring now is akin to a messy divorce. That emotional attachment has been broken. Staff feel angry and betrayed. That is deliberate on QANTAS' part. The company doesn't give a s$&t about its staff and the staff need to realise that and stop caring deeply about a company that just doesn't exist anymore.

I know it's sad. I know it's unpalatable but that's the reality and the sooner you move on emotionally the happier you will be. For now, go to work, do the job, accept the money and take whatever comes in the future for the sake of your own health and that of your family. By the way, that's disengagement, a process I'm now FULLY engaged with!

P.s if someone can post the image at

Dilbert.com - The Official Dilbert Website with Scott Adams' color strips, Dilbert animation, mashups and more!

I'd appreciate it! Thanks.

Your wish is someone's command.
Scott Adams is always a genius.

Do you think they'd give a toss, though?
Any board that supported the fleet grounding debacle and thought it was a good idea for even a nanosecond obviously couldn't give two sh...hoots about what the nasty public think of them.

Worrals, if you could have a chat to my wife and kids I'd appreciate that too.

Keg,

It just further reduces the credibility of our 'exco' when they tell us the sky is yellow when we can all see that it's blue.
The sky is not yellow, it's orange. And when it's almost all orange, guess what happens? It starts slowly turning white and red again, but if you look closely you'll notice that it's a slightly different shade of white and red, almost as if the colours are thinner and cheaper.

I actually do. Anyone here who is on facebook may have seen some evidence of this today. Airline Hub Buzz often posts home truths about our National carrier. He often, as he has today, lets us know that there has been another attempt by Qantas to have him shut down.

Interesting. They've been so bad at PR over the past few years that I thought it was some sort of clandestine strategy.
Do you have a link for the FB site you mentioned? I'm having no joy with Google or FB search.

Do a search on F.A.C.E.B.O.O.K for a person called Airline Hub buzz. Follow him and you'll get heaps of great airline goss. That Qantas keep complaining about him says a lot more about Qantas than it does about AHB.

AHB Facebook

AHB is well informed and shows what QF are really up to.Makes them accountable.They've tried twice to close him down but his followers rallied and petitioned Facebook.common sense(not bullying) prevailed

Unfortunately some of us old b#ggers dont know how to do that, as is famously said, "please explain"

ejectx3 seems to have the same problem.

Step 1. Get Facebook account if you don't have one already.

Step 2. Go to Airline Hub Buzz page as indicated above.

Step 3. Under the piccie of the A380 wing tip is a box that says 'add friend'. Click on that box.

Step 4. Wait for AHB to confirm your friend status.

Shame that you guys haven't seen more of AHB previously. Some of his posts regarding Qantas' RedQ airline and the names he was coming up with for it were simply brilliant.
