No wonder QANTAS couldn't make a profit with all the excessive industrial relations union crap that went on a couple of years ago, it cost them millions then and they haven't been able to turn it around. Good work unions, screw over the employer and then have a whinge when the jobs that you fought *cough* so hard to make better get axed because the employer can't afford to pay them anymore. Nice work. In the meantime all the union bosses are still living a good life and getting paid to apparently look after the little guy..... yeah right.

Figures out state the CEO and crew have had pay rises of up to 80%..
How us that good business.

You can't move 100% of maintenance Off shore. You still need some sorta maintaining here.. But if you have different companies filling Qantas's flights they'll need crew and attendants..

he took a 30% pay cut must be tuff with only 1.5mil annually to play with

Now, what could we do with a Mil?
Brand new Y61 Patrol with all the little fan-dangle accessories from Nissan - $70k?
Top of the line suspension kit - $3k??
Bullbar, winch, lights, snorkel - $5k
All the latest "anti-grenade gadgets" - $1k
Set of decent tyres - $2.5k

What are we up to now? Can we say $100k with every bit of extra gear.
Poor old Joycey can have only 10 of them every year

so he took a 80% pay rise then took a 30% cut so still 50% ahead, bugger me!
