That certainly puts things in perspective. A $300M half year loss and the sky is falling in. Yet $300M to introduce Maintenix, the world's most farked computerised maintenance system, and it's high fives all round!

Don't forget the fortune spent on eQ.

If that is actually true SNAFU, then that is a very big worry.

"Don't forget the fortune spent on eQ"

They spent money on eQ?

Given how hopeless it is, I had always assumed it had been set-up by a First Year IT uni student in his/her spare time!

Lets take a step back - 6 months ago, things were OK. Yes INTL was still losing lots of money but the fact it was improving was seen as a good thing. DOM was still profitable, albiet down because of the capacity war. The big message was that things were heading slowly in the right direction.

Besides VA getting $300m, what has changed so drastically? Yes fuel has gone up too but it is a worry that the airline is in such a poor position in such a short space of time. Of course the managers who made the decisions that contributed won't be the ones losing thier jobs on Thursday, just the rest of the workers who make the airline what it is

Yep, that's right Waren and the joke, the very bad joke is that when
the Airline was grounded by Management, they grounded QF Domestic
even though they were in no way involved in the QF International EBA
negotiations or PIA.

Hypocrisy Bueller ??

As has already been said, you couldn't write this stuff.

Distracted maintenance crews too.
Uncertainty and apprehension leads to mistakes. CASA etc should be demanding that this situation is resolved ASAP.

Nope.

CASA are not interested UNTIL you make a mistake. They can't provide the basic oversight as they are much too interested in protecting themselves from scrutiny during the review.
You guys on the ground and in the air need to be focussed for everyone's sakes.

Rudd/Gillard already used CASA to ground Tiger to try and help QF and screw SQ again but "nothing can help QF"

QF ARE GOING TO GET WHAT THEY DISHED OUT FOR THE LAST 30 Years its over !!!! United/Delta/(Pan Am bless them )Virgin/Singapore/ANZ are watching and laughing.

Take it like you dish it out and stop crying...

Well to put a slightly positive note amongst all this gloom, if our friend GT is to be believed the majority of of job cuts will be amongst non operational staff. More LWOP, less progression and maybe VR's but no pilots left jobless at least?

Jobs go in Qantas shake-up - Yahoo!7

It is understood the staff cuts will be across-the-board and will focus on management and backroom staff.

Its going to be a bad day, the 27th. Security staff say they are being booked in for overtime for Thursday.
Will there be another shutdown?

I don't believe it, someone is actually telling it how it is.

Don't fall for the Qantas ruse - Business - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
