Qantas

Assistance for Qantas?

It is reported that Alan Joyce is considering cutting another 1000 Qantas positions shortly.

It will be interesting to see how he will fare when he pushes his trolley to Canberra for some ready cash.

Will he get it?

On the face of it probably not .

Recently SPC, Holden (GM) ,Ford and Toyota have crashed but Cadbury escaped with a pat on the back.

However , Alan Joyce has done a great job in terms of the current government’s philosophy. He’s been slashing and chopping wilder than a Stephen King villain. Brownie points there.

 Mechanics, baggage handlers and pilots could well be advised by the coalition that there are plenty of waiting jobs available in Canberra .Relocation grants might be considered.

Joyce will also reveal his plans for the new Qantas. See picture below.  The cost savings are good... reduction of fuel costs, maintenance and staff The new terminal will be far smaller and will be adapted to conditions in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne. Fewer passengers of course will also increase the efficiency of the airline.
