Entire Qantas fleet grounded.

Am I wrong in thinking this is a first in an industrial dispute? Wow, it's a huge move.

Look, I'm kind of hoping that for me there are personal benefits (S might not be able to travel this week, yay!) but from an objective point of view, that is just an enormous nightmare for so many people!

Even if it only lasts a couple of days, the flow on effects are going to last for weeks.

[Mad Old Cow]

Yes it is going to stuff a lot of people around & a lot of money will be lost, not good for anyone

[Sparkles]

(((sigh)))) yep gees its going to affect so many on so many levels...

[Cackle]

It will muck up CHOGM as well. Julia Gizzard won't be amused

[Sparkles]

feel sorry for those who have saved and saved for a holiday then this happens...

[Naomi]

Or people who are trying to get home to see sick family members, or attend funerals or any of those things that can't be put off for another time

yep....must be so frustrating for many

[Heather]

It is wrong on so many levels......I feel very arrogant and irresponsible.

[Ted E Bear]

Why Heather - not why is it wrong but why do you feel responsible???

[Heather]

I meant that the decision to ground is arrogant and irresponsible.

The Airline carriers perform a public service and should put their passengers before and above all.
