QANTAS...how to turn the worlds best airline into scrap metal...hire an Irishman...

Joe Hockey will bail it out!!

Joe "puck" Hockey wouldn't fit his fat ass in a economy class seat...

As soon as they moved their mechanics etc to Malaysia, it all began to fall apart.

Planes falling 1000 feet nearly every week.

Tony Abbots plan is to allow increased foreign ownership in it
Remember they did that with Ansett and Air New Zealand destroyed it

the govt sold Qantas. now they are saying they are going to bail it out. THEN WHY SELL IT?????


"The federal government is set to provide Qantas with a debt guarantee, meaning taxpayers will underwrite the airline's push to increase its foreign ownership.

The plan also increases pressure on the Labor opposition by making the removal of the guarantee conditional upon allowing the airline access to greater foreign capital investment.

The move would make the public liable for Qantas borrowings in the event of default.

It is the first part of a bigger plan to allow majority foreign ownership of the airline.

I never gave the dogs permission to sell the commonwealth bank, the utility companies, our water...muthafuckas...:dog1:

Well if it was run by Australians with the same brains as the OP it's no wonder it's sold. OP maybe you could put some details in your first post - funny enough most people outside Australia don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

Well you should do seeing as how half of your taxes go towards paying off your Euro debt and the other half to bailing Greece out.

that's crazy talk!

Old news...hire a gay irishman with no aviation background and no knowledge of culture of company....So what if he's irish, he's a douche...

Actually the Australians did a very good job running an airline with the best safety record in the world, so leave your limp irish retorts at home...

Struggling Australian carrier Qantas to axe 5,000 jobs
[link to uk.news.yahoo.com]

Part of the restructure will see 5,000 full-time positions lost from the carrier's 32,000-strong workforce by 2017
with a wage freeze across the network until it returns to profit.

I doubt very much, if this applies to senior management positions.
Qantas emphasised that Mr Joyce’s actual pay amounted to $3.33 million for the year to June, up from $2.28 million in 2011-12.

Nick Xenophon hit the nail on the head, questioning the rubbery figures & creative accounting to prop up Jetstar's shortcomings with Qantas profits.

And the air mechanic unions spokesman was also correct, pointing out how Qantas ALWAYS made a profit, year in, year out, until that corrupt fucking leprechaun took over as CEO.

And like Alan Joyce said: "I tort I taw a puddy tat!"3

Pay me that I could make profit!

Shouldn't you be kissing a blarney stone some place potato farmer?

Classic corporate take-down...Pump millions into the "unprofitable arm" of the airline and starve the "profitable end"
It's not rocket science!:dog1:
