Qantas Smiles: shareholders and executives grin, customers and staff grit their

[Stationair8]

More like a dog trying to make love to a football.

The joy of working on a wet windy tarmac at night time, loading bags on a tight schedule!

I love the bit around the executives working "roster hours". Haha.

Reality is........... 9-5 with 3 hours of breaks, emails, phone meetings is about the best you will get. You won't be seeing any white collars 9pm on a Saturday night.

Great, now I’ll have to wait even longer for my bag

So let me get this straight…they won’t pay a living wage to load bags, but they will pay a management wage to avoid admitting that they were wrong? Sounds about right.

Memo to all QF “management” staff: If you don’t know who is the patsy in the room, it’s you.

I’m sure the Swissport bloke on $20 an hour will welcome them with wide arms… expect a few “copped a bag to the face” injuries.

Are they trained? Do they have a ASIC? Can they live without a Latte for an hour? Do they actually know what a aircraft looks like?

Its a PR joke!!

Here's the thing: If after the promised 3 months, nothing in the business has materially changed for the worse...then they should ALL be made redundant or at best be offered permanent gigs throwing bags.

Does anyone know why QF9 was diverted to Frankfurt? I'm supposed to be coming back on QF10 tomorrow...

Isnt it only a few days ago the esteemed AD was on the media bandwagon telling us how the lost bag % was no worse than pre covid & how all the claims by employees & unions were 'simply not true'!
1 would be sure theres going to be some more share entitlements thrown the way of a few at the top for thinking up this brain storming idea.

Medical diversion.

Begs the question, if these Qantas executives can be spared to load bags, what important executive work would they normally be doing?

Puppy patting and rainbow making

Not much - drinking coffee, looking at spreadsheets, counting bonuses, writing pithy reports, grooming their poodles (no, not middle management types) and kissing politicians asses.

Can someone take some video footage of the managers lumping bags, speed it up to 3x and put the Benny Hill Show music to it.
