Why Australia is rooted.

Qantas will go ahead with outsourcing its ground handling operations, which will result in the loss of 2000 jobs.

This comes after the airline announced plans to restructure its ground handling operations – including services like aircraft cleaning and baggage handling – and went on to review bids from both external and in-house ground handling service operators on how to make these services more efficient.

The bids had to outline ways they would reduce the overall cost of ground handling operations, avoid huge spending on ground handling equipment and better match the costs of Qantas’ ground handling services with fluctuating levels of demand.

Qantas believed it could save around $100 million a year from using external service providers.

Outsourcing for inferior, and possibly dangerous, services whilst the little Irish gnome took home $23.8 million last year.

Quite a lot of carriers outsource ground handling to airports and other carriers without issue. I'm surprised Qantas hadn't before now.
How is this common occurrence going to make Qantas 'possibly' more dangerous?

Obviously you have forgotten when Qantas outsourced to Singapore and were then grounded after wires were found crudely stapled and which posed a potential fire hazard. They also found problems with flooring and flight control panels which caused potential safety concerns.

If you want cheap you get cheap. They want to cut costs by around $103 million. You figure it out.

Aircraft ground handling has nothing to do with aircraft maintenance.
Maybe you didn't know that.

Don't you have anything better to do than to follow me around all the time?

If you can't figure out for yourself that cutting costs, including baggage handling, by $103 million is likely to cause security risks you're what is it?

Play the ball for a change and not the person. If you don't like the information posted ignore it. It's really that simple.

Tell us Nommy how/why outsourcing baggage handling on the cheap isn't a potential security risk?

You are implying that my presence on this forum is no longer welcome... given your over the top, emotional response.

I dont follow anyone around forums... never have... never will.
On forum, I select 'active topics' and respond accordingly...
I also respond to notifications...
I make a point of not denigrating forum members... even when they do it to me

But that is not good enough... apparently.
I am rather tired of your insults...
I don't deserve them... They are unjustified.

There are other forums where I am treated far better by the admin than you treat me...
I would be a fool not to pursue them,
And pursue them I will...

Farwell then... enjoy your forum!

You insult myself and others constantly. If you can't take it back perhaps you shouldn't dish it out. Do whatever you will. Post wherever you will.

I guess you can't answer this simple question and I was wondering how you would respond. Now I know.

You're no victim, Nom, stop trying to act like one.
