Not to mention with newer aircraft and arguably better on board service than QF. It’s disgusting to see how far QF has been driven into the ground by greedy management decisions over the years.

This is a completely incorrect statement. Maybe the Indonesian carriers are more willing to accept risk than the Australian ones though? To their credit, Garuda and (surprisingly) Lion did make an effort to route around the ash warning area, unlike Malindo and Citilink who obviously have less...

This will be a 320NEO flight when it arrives. 60-80% LF on the 321 is solid considering the pax numbers are capped which won’t happen on the 320.

Not ‘poached’ (that’s simply the line John Sharp likes to push), it’s simply market forces at play. Treat staff as terribly as Rex do, they are naturally going to move on. In fact, shortage of pilots and engineers are a large reason that Rex are in the position they are in now. Rex management...

Usually rats flee a sinking ship, not try to get on board!

The key to using QF staff travel internationally is finding an EK flight and booking that. More destinations, more seat availability, and a much better on board experience. Not to mention the much better treatment from EK cabin crew than the QF dinosaurs who treat you with a ‘how dare you staff...

Just goes to show how morally bankrupt QF leadership was under Joyce, and to be honest, still is under the current regime.

And they a ready for a big fight. The Network Aviation PIA has had relatively little impact on the east coast, just wait until the VA pilots start (not to mention the other upcoming QF group EBA negotiations starting in the next 12-18 months)

In the age of corporate greed, the adversarial lever is the only one that airline managers know. They’re are reaping what they’ve sewn for a long time, and it’s a pleasure to see the pilots standing up to QF management and giving them the middle finger.

The old QantasLink facilities that are still very much used by QantasLink?

Bonza is gonza. Just a matter of time.

Three certainties in life; death, taxes, and Geoffrey Thomas being rolled out to sprout absolute cough anytime the media want a soundbite about aviation.

Geoffrey Thomas is a Qantas stooge masquerading as a so called aviation expert ‘aka former baggage handler’. No doubt this article will sort out his Chairmans Lounge renewal.

The utter contempt shown towards Network Aviation pilots in their current EBA negotiations shows that Hudson’s words are completely empty. She is Joyce with a wig.

DIRCM - Directed Infra-red Countermeasures. Made up by many of the various lumps and bumps on the airframe.

Rex is a terrible place to work. Management are reaping what they’ve sown for a long time.

Excellent result. Goyder and Hudson should be packing up their desks and following Joyce out the door. Especially Hudson, she would have been just as involved as Joyce in this decision. New people are desperately needed in Head Office.

The number one thing that needs to happen is to start treating staff as an asset not as a threat to management remuneration. There is a lot of hope that things will change under VH but not a lot of expectation. Goyder needs to go next. Someone from outside of the Mascot Ivory Tower is what is...

The end is nigh……

Rumour has it Perth to coughet on the cards too.
