Why is it only QANTAS and The Union getting the brunt of the arguement?
Why isn't someone blaming the Government?
Without the Government's interferance, Inflation wouldn't be running so high (alot higher than the reported 3%), promting the Unions to ask for a 5% per year pay rise for 3 years.
The reason for the need for such a high pay rise, is because EVERYTHING is so bloody expensive. Housing, Utilities, Food to name a few.
The other thing is, with everything being so expensive, not many people can afford to fly as much any more, nor do they wish to do so in style (why discount airlines became popular).
So not only is QANTAS competing with low cost airlines, noone can afford the premium. The only option being to cut costs, or allow the company to fail.
How do they cut costs? Ship maintenance off-shore. It's not QANTAS' fault wages in Australia are rediculous. It's the GOVERNMENTS fault for letting it get out of hand. I'm not even going to say which GOVERNMENT started it, but neither has done anything about it.
NOTHING is sustainable in Australia and it's not QANTAS's fault or the Unions.
