Imagine how profitable the business could be if they applied that energy to actually running an Airline!
Not while they are running it, that's for sure....

I don't understand why they just don't add yet another manual to the list. QanSoc Newspeak. It would save them a LOT of time!

Newspeak is the language of the country of Oceania in the 1949 novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, by George Orwell. In the novel Oceania is a fictional totalitarian state ruled by the Party, who created the language to meet the ideological requirements of English Socialism (Ingsoc).[1] Newspeak is a controlled language, of restricted grammar and limited vocabulary, a linguistic design meant to limit the freedom of thought—personal identity, self-expression, free will—that ideologically threatens the régime of Big Brother and the Party, who thus criminalized such concepts as thoughtcrime, contradictions of Ingsoc orthodoxy.[
You can't make this stuff up.

PS: Thanks QF Angel 'Arthur D' for the suggestion. Reality Czech had a hand as well. I don't look forward to meeting either of you in a Ministry of Truth glass walled meeting room (Qf 'Campus') but I'm sure you won't hold that part against me! I can see ten fingers right now if you want....

SWH is onto it. If QF want to play the invasion card then Mabo becomes invalid.

Better set the wheels in motion to change NOTAM to NOTAP while we're at it.

Well, it is the modern western way of needing to play/be the victim.

Perhaps I could have been typing this in Japanese if not for the USA dropping a few big bombs where it really hurts. Are the Japanese thinking of revenge and dropping a few back in return? No, this is just how retarded Joyce and his cronies argument has become.

Alexander the Great invaded many more countries, and in the process of assimilation, those countries generally benefitted. Sure Australia has a bit of a bloody past, and we are not in denial of it, but for a growing number of people it's fuel for playing the victim to the sole benefit of the individual rather than the collective.

Back in my day the sphincter was a one way valve; it seems times are a changin'...
In the corporate world it's a tool mainly used for promotion.

Correct, Mabo is wiped out, along with all the gains over the last 20 years.

Anybody who identifies as non-Australian, can hand back every last cent us invaders worked so hard to give them. Then we can have a reconciliation, everybody becomes Australians and everyone can contribute like 50% of us do now.

Typical grievance industry, their motto appears to be: ask not what you’ve already done for me, ask how much more I would like you to do (apologies to JFK).

I call myself a progressive, as in I am progressively becoming less tolerant of the corrupt and self-delusional nature of the left/grievance/PC/greenie BS we are subjected too all to often these days.

An absolute embarrassment!

One of the fears of the recent ‘vote no’ campaign was that a yes vote would lead to an encroachment on the rights of the non-LGBTI community. This nonsense supports that argument.

Sorry Qantas, my mum and dad as well as my wife are happy to be addressed as such, despite your leftist dribble.

I am am afraid that the Qantas CEO may be falling victim to a slightly leftist pinko version of the same messianic complex which killed off Jonny Howard.

Sorry to burst your ‘angel’ slight V, hang in there honey, you’ll figure it out love!

Would love to know what the Qantas’s People and Culture group executive Lesley Grant refers “Virgin Australia” as perhaps, “Non invaded Invasion” ?

So I’m guessing we can’t say “ladies and Gentlemen” anymore on the PA in case we offend someone.

I have just been given another reason, or just reinforcing an earlier decision, NEVER to fly Qantas ever again, unless I have absolutely no other alternative.

I will go the extra mile, or pay the higher price to find an alternative if necessary.

What a great sadness is gradually overcoming Australia, the nation that my father happily volunteered to defend as WW2 was ramping up.

He most certainly wouldn't now if he had his time over again.

I wonder when this ‘information pack’ will be presented to EK for use on codeshares?

Q Employees

I certainly hope the Q employees give the Q thought police the middle finger as well as strike if necessary to stop the madness.

The nazi HR and leadership need to be removed and I hope all Australians start boycotting Q to teach them a lesson.

Australia is a firsrt world western nation with free speech which includes the right to offend, anything less and free speech is gone.

Time to drain the swamp at Q

The easiest way to deal with this **** is to not talk to anyone. Ever.

It was mentioned last night on 7 news that ‘qantas has no plans to change the name of its elite chairman’s lounge’

Elite? Invitation only? Well that’s discrimination, just because I’m not a Crappy journo or someone Alan needs to manipulate, why shouldn’t I have access? Might try that next time.

Positive discrimination is OK apparently...

Disgraceful. The people who I feel most sorry for are the regional passengers who’s massive fare prices pay for the salaries of these idiots. It’s almost to the point where I may start going to work in civies as not only are we embarrassed on a daily basis by our ‘costume’, but now we are lumbered with this ludicrous policy which is quite rightly being savaged on social media. It looks as though even the general public have cottoned on to the fact that our management has lost the plot and is not concentrating on why the business exists in the first place.
