Qantas will cut flights from some of its busiest Australian routes as it struggles to cope with the high cost of fuel and staffing shortages at airports.Airports are struggling to secure enough workers after pandemic layoffsThe airline announced on Friday that it would cut domestic capacity through to March 2023.
"Many of these adjustments have already been made with the remainder to flow through in coming days."The cuts will take the airline's domestic capacity to 99 per cent of pre-pandemic levels in the first quarter of the new financial year, and 106 per cent in the second quarter. Sydney Airport last week held a recruitment fair in an effort for companies to hire 5,000 needed staff.
The Transport Workers Union, Flight Attendants Association of Australia and Australian Services Union have called for the $5,000 payment to be given to all workers without strings attached, including theQantas also said on Friday that Gareth Evans, the head of its low-cost arm, Jetstar, would step down from his role in December after 23 years with the group.
Qantas needs to be held to account. I’m tired of doing my part booking, paying, turning up at a certain time only to be delayed or canceled. Yet even when delayed overnight I had to pay my accommodation myself. Alan Joyce time to fix this , and rehire baggage handlers.
It’s ok though, Wa is subsiding the new international routes out of Perth.... 🙄
I thought the $2billion in JobKeeper was so Qantas could keep flights and jobs? My mistake. I guess JobKeeper is for outsourcing jobs and Alan’s new mansion in Mosman.
Qantas announces that it has resolved its baggage problems by cancelling all flights 🤣🤣🤣
Congratulations! No one wants to fly Qantas anymore, the brand is as toxic as their CEO now. Alan Joyce - the deformed poster child of why bean counters make utterly useless CEOs.
so what happened to the money the LNP gave them ?
They sack staff the complain about staff shortages
just build high speed rail already and run it on wind and solar
Finally, a smart decision. Clearly there were more flights available than staff able to work. Healthy staff, healthy business. WTF were they thinking?
Joyce’s legacy is making Qantas a poor shadow of the airline it once was. For it to survive Joyce needs to go
Joyce sacked workers for not taking a Vax that doesn't stop transmission and banned customers for the same fuked up reason. The board members should sack Joyce immediately for damaging the company for zero benefit. Even the triple jabbers realise the vax does fuk all
No need for a 2nd Sydney airport. There'll be enough international slots at KSA. What will you do with the works already done? CatherineKingMP RobStokesMP InfraAust
Grubs
Lots of cuts. Cut the CEO and clear the problem.
Qantas will never recover from the lockdowns.
ABC news needs to present some analysis from those with more interest in giving a complete overview of the situation than provide a free platform to the Qantas CEO.
Why don't they get more hand outs? Lol
Perhaps Joyce could take a pay cut?He doesn’t give a damn about his workers.
Company sacks workers when they're at their most vulnerable. Can't understand why those workers won't come back and work for them.
A $5000 bonus you say Joyce, but only when existing employees sign your crappy new EBA's... Some would call that conditional blackmail and it's not like you're one to keep your promises.
Why, are they vaxx injured ABC?🧐💉💉💉💉
And Joyce will continue to blame Covid and passenger's !
Time for Qantas to sack criminal Joyce. Nuremberg code breached
