Qantas CEO Blames passengers for delays
What about 'pent up demand',they obviously didnt do any planning for when it actually happened,maybe they forgot to 'reach out' to the real world.
What about “the Learning’s “ won’t someone think about “the Learnings”!
short flights long nights
Well, I’m unpacking what I’m getting from the learnings from watching the 5pm news in Perth. My learnings are…. It appears that Qantas is no longer able to put the same passengers on the same aircraft as their bags.
While I Do yoga with my puppy….I’m assuming that Alan has unpacked the fact going forward that his bonus has gone up..because Qantas no longer has to pay anyone experienced in the ground handling of aircraft, or having ground staff to provide customer face to face service.
Qantas is really making Air Koyo look good at the moment, ( And this is no disrespect to the staff that are left. I know the operational bit has been stripped to the bone.) Good luck to you all.

“Well one thing I’m not unpacking is my fvcking bag…2 days after I arrived”

The board of this company needs to take action right now & show they have a set instead of sitting in their ivory tower doing zumba or whatever else they can dream up whilst there are people all over the country supposedly enjoying easter with no luggage & probably not much hope of it arriving anytime soon.
The courier companies must be rubbing their hands together with the amount of bags being sent to them for delivery.
Came home on QF620 last night MEL-BNE. Over four hour delay, total shambles at the airport. No seats in the lounge, standing room only. 40 minute further delay on board "waiting for our bags to be loaded as we are short of ground crew". Further delay "due to discrepancies with the load sheet". The 'Full Service' catering was a single biscuit thingy ( I couldn't open it and left it in the seat back). The crew did a great job with good PA announcements that were honest and apologetic. I felt so sorry for them. All the pax around me were doing the famous, "I'll never fly with Qantas again". I found myself trying to defend them.
I have never worked for Qantas, but I've done three type ratings with them and have a great respect for their Flight Ops side. What a mess and even worse than the the time Ansett began its descent into the abyss. Bean counters who know the price of everything but the value of nothing are destroying this industry. Juan Trippe, Reg Ansett, Eddie Rickenbacker and Howard Hughes must be rolling over in their graves.

They know that in the end they have you by the balls. (and whatever they have females by? The females that have the XX chromosomes that is, not the other ones, that win university swim meets)
I don’t get why the Qantas guys board without any baggage handlers around.
The QLink and NJS guys make it clear on the radio that they’re not boarding until the baggage handlers turn up. Customers would be a lot more comfortable in the terminal then squished up on the aircraft.

Working overseas it was the companies Airport Manager who decided whilst the doors were open - only became the Captains aircraft once doors closed.
In Oz also?
Of course the AM would discuss/liase especially in case of unknown Tech delay etc but final decision was theirs.

Out of interest , if there was a delay of 1 hour for bags to be loaded but main cabin door closed after cargo door would the delay go to baggage or late boarding of pax ?

The position of the door does not change the responsibility of the PIC under the Act.

Seriously, who cares what delay reason gets recorded? We have all been giving delay reasons for 20+ years now and has anything ever improved? Anybody?
Guess it gets somebody somewhere their kpi's & a bonus if they can offload it to someone else.

Blame is always better to give than to receive.
Taking a leaf from Scotty from Marketing's book? She doesn't check people in or answer phones, so why should she stick around, while the QF customer experience falls in a heap??
