To all Qantas Staff
It can't be easy sitting and waiting for the 'announcement' tomorrow. Knowing that due to a corporate thug's incompetence and psychopathic behaviour, getting paid millions of dollars, may make you redundant. Thoughts are with you. Everything changes tomorrow...........

I wouldn't describe Alan Joyce a corporate thug but my thoughts are with all those loyal and faithful servants who, under extreme pressure, keep the good ship Qantas going, day in, day out. Without its dedicated staff, Qantas would be a mere shell of a company. Good luck and good fortune! 
Well said. Good night, good luck and fly safe.

Thank you all!
I will be only one of many hundred crew flying through the night after tomorrow's announcements.
I am sure many are more stressed now than when we were locked out.
The others are just over it and couldn't give a **** anymore.

Yes guys and girls, good luck to all. I never like to see anyone under such stress and threat with regards to their job. I have been through this at another large airline and it is not pleasant. Hang in there!

At last -an Analyst with common sense.
To those soon to leave Qantas employment, my sincere condolences.
To those who get to make a choice about staying, my very best wishes.
Qantas Airways will need to prove to investors its future cost-cutting efforts will be more successful than previous moves, CLSA analyst Scott Ryall says. “When its plans are released, our focus will be on differentiating between genuine efficiencies versus whether there are offsetting costs and risks [such as from outsourcing].”
Mr Ryall said the airline should think about sharing the benefits of the restructuring with remaining staff, given many already did not appear to be engaged or aligned with the management’s strategy, and morale could worsen after a round of job cuts.
“We cannot believe there is not a way to negotiate a win-win between staff and management, for example, in the form of lower wages in return for equity, that would better align both parties in facing up to the challenges faced by Qantas.”
Both sides would face the burden of restructuring and it was only logical for them to share the upside as well, although Mr Ryall noted there was probably a question of trust.

Good luck to all of you today!
I wrote yesterday on the Qantas Face Book site that you guys, the pilots, engineers, flight attendants, ground staff are the reason I fly Qantas and not Alan Joyce. I further wrote that the only person who should loose his job today is Alan Joyce. Guess what? My entry was deleted within the hour!
What a sad company Qantas has become. A total disregard for his loyal employees and customers!
Today I feel like returning my FF card and QF Club memebership, but this want help you and therefore I will not do it.

Thank you all. Even though this forum can sometimes be a pretty unedifying spectacle, you realise at times like this that there are a lot of very nice people out there. The contrast with what's coming out of Coward St is very much appreciated.

I echo the sentiments of Jack's post. Good luck ladies and gentlemen of QF.
Lets not forget all the innocence families and children that will be going to their workplaces, schools and uni today coping with the unnecessary stress at home.
This has been brought on by AJ, the QF Board and past corporate psychopaths that should be held accountable for their criminal performances in the past. Today should be their judgement day, not the workers that make QF and its rich history.
Keep your heads high

Qantas confirms 5000 jobs to go
The article does not indicate whether the CEO is included in the redundancies.
