Oh so right
It has been a very sad state of affairs to watch the dimise of the greatest airline in the world. The last 8 years under the total control of the poison gnome have seen a once proud workforce beaten into submission, well almost. Qf has turned into a company of smoke and mirrors, all the glossy brochures about designer skybeds that pax. slide off, designer amenity kits, that are pancake boxes and self serve refreshment bars that only stock 6 chocolate bars for 24 people. I think that it is time to get back to KISS, keep it simple stupid. Enough of change (to keep a corridor crawler) in a job, lets start listening to the people who handle the phuck ups everyday as a matter of course. It's time for the new chairman and CEO to use that big broom that has been hiding in the cupboard and get rid of all the management that so willing adopted the former leaders approach. Hate the crew, treat them like bun tossers and you will get ahead. What our managers forget is that we are the reason that they have a job.

Round and Round We Go
We always end up in the same place with the same result and directed here by the usual suspects.

Guys,
You must understand THEY only understand one side of the ledger...Cost.
Once this beds in then Jit connect will be the next port of call.
As far as flight crew are concerned, Q mainline had the vitriol of J* They are now finding out the tasman flying will actually be cheaper using Q aircraft and J cinnect crews..
"Jet star lite" J* flight operated by J connect....
Welcome to the mainline party.....
The longer one lives, the more things really do repeat......

Speaking of Jetstar...are their any other shorthaulers out there who a little concerned with EVERY flight of ours being codeshared with them.
I remember not so long ago, when it was in start up mode, that management said that there would NEVER be any codesharing except in the case where Qantas provides a feeder to a Jetstar international flight.
Makes me wonder how this is affecting our bottom line.
Call me paranoid, but I hope that it isn't a ploy to render Qantas financially unviable, sack us all, move the assets to Jetstar then rebrand back to Qantas.
Any comments?

MAM crew to QD
As I understand, the first group of QD recruits are due on line on 31 Jan. They are all to be MAMers who have decided to take up a fulltime position. Could anyone tell me how many MAM crew have taken up the offer and what your pay, t & C's will be??
