Not that it has hurt QF at all, but since that little 2011 dummy spit, that occured out of pure spur of the moment thinking one Saturday morning apparently, (nothing to do with people placed around the globe and ready to deal with it)...I have not flown 'The Rat' since...perfectly unbeleivable...but easy to sell to a dumb public and a 'gummint'more concerned about chairmans club access....utter BS....and I do not miss QF at all!

(OK, yes of course a few code shares have had unavoidable trips on QF metal...and the staff have been great.... :) )

You take every opportunity to whinge and complain about Qantas.
Look at the other thread re Virgin. The consecutive losses, the unhappiness etc etc.
There is one person who can fix your unhappiness: you. Go somewhere where you would be happy. There is no other sheltered workshop that would have you.
At least at Qantas, the business is profitable, nearly all of the time. That is what guarantees you get paid on time.

..And there in lies the problem..were you here in 2014? $ 2.6 billion loss? Terminal Decline? The last couple of years of years of profitability may cover that..
Were you here in 2011? As Fliegenmong said, waking up one Saturday morning..and how much did that cost the business? QF Official figures said $213 million, more "independent" analysis say northwards of $290m...
It always such a good sport to come here and lob a few grenades to rat out the Angels lurking in our midst..
The only sheltered workshop in Qf is the Street. One of my associates had one of..you..people on the jumpseat the other day, and they were telling all and sundry how "all the airlines in the world were looking at us" with the introduction of the B787...

Yes...that was the first question I asked...after what happened earlier in the year, there is between Buckeys and zero on our jumpseat(s)...
