How about an apology to the workers and employees too? and a sincere look at their greivances? How about an honest disclosure about what Joyce and Abbott discussed before grounding the flights?

i am sick of union bashing. every worker in australia enjoys working conditions fought for by unions. even if you are not in a union do you think sick pay, holiday pay, weekends, public holidays, lunch breaks would have been willingly offered by employers.

It is one of the many union ploys of the Qantas dispute that the unions have inferred that Qantas are jeopardising safety. Qantas have not. Safety is their number 1 priority.
No other airline does their major maintenance in Australia because of the massive costs to their airlines compared to overseas.
The majority of the engineers overseas are Australian & they have not outpriced themselves like the unionised crew do here.
The unions have not changed their outdated work practices from 20 years ago to the technology now & do not need 15 persons to do the work of 2.
Qantas is a business & must reign in costs if it is to be viable. Unions are jeopardising the whole airline by demanding unsustainable costly work practises.
Qantas employees are already the highest paid & have the best working conditions in the industry globally.
Australians want cheap flights & Qantas must manage costs to be competitive & to remain.
Every business promotes themselves, particularly after the union dispute has forced Qantas to closedown temporarily to terminate industrial action, hopefully Qantas can regain the publics confidence.
Joyce is a real leader & is commended for his actions to save the airline.Good luck Qantas Thursday 10 November, 2011 - 2:08 AM
