Beware, Colin
There's a blipper in Northern Ireland, young Colin, who is planning a world trip next year and decided to come to Sydney as he would get a good deal with QANTAS if he had a stopover there.
Yesterday the CEO of QANTAS announced that all aircraft would be immediately grounded, aside, that is, from those in the air at the time. (Phew, that was a relief!)
Basically the CEO is taking it up to the unions and things are currently at a stalemate.
QANTAS has had an excellent reputation for many years. You might remember Dustin Hoffman's character in The Rainman insisting on flying QANTAS because they'd never had an accident.
Well, the warm, fuzzy feeling we Australians have when we think of QANTAS has dissipated somewhat of late. There've been endless strikes because of pay disputes and outsourcing of servicing and even pilots.
But this latest move has astounded most.
Now, we very much want Colin to come halfway round the world and meet the nice blippers in the Blue Mountains just west of Sydney. We are really looking forward to it We speak the same language (albeit with a different and not as nice accent) and we have even started planning the entertainment.
This is all by way of saying, Colin, you might just want to rejig your plans and fly Air Kalathumpia.
