I agree that QANTAS are stuck between a rock and a hard place, but seriously look at the evidence here. QANTAS are expensive, yes, but people chose them on their reputation as the safest airline in the world. Since QANTAS have embarked on their outsourcing operations we have witnessed a series of dramatic and damaging mishaps that have resulted in very nearly losing a couple of planes. This, I believe, is at the heart of the argument from the unions. QANTAS differentiated themselves and hence gained customers, think of them as the Apple inc. of the skies - you can't compete on a premium brand with the same shitty service as everyone else, and yet this is the strategy they have adopted.
