A hopeless situation which I am sure Shane Jones would like to see repeated .
People like Shane Jones do not give in.
I would not be surprised to see the whole AIR board resign,when the current government appoint "their" director when a vacancy arises.
Google Lyttleton chairman resigns.

We should all be selling Beagle and workingdad. Jones said in the interview linked above that AIR has had 9 years which will be the "golden era of the company" and now its all over !! Surprisingly the PM was quick off her feet and told Jones to shut up, so I might just hold on a little longer

sell order in...... for 3.70 haha.
To be honest though, I really think they need to do better with how they handle legitimate complaints. The bad press just isn't worth it and having had first hand experience having to drag compensation out of them with regard to baggage issues business class to Vancouver I thought they needed to up their game. Its in the press somewhat consistently so would seem par for the course rather than an exception to the rule.....

Qantas shareprice didn’t do too well under their last Labour government in Australia.
(I think)
Didn’t they ground their whole fleet because of an industrial dispute - the old saying why do we only have major industrial unrest under Labour (or Labor if you Aussie)

Market today reckons ... Jones 0, AIR 1
Don't be too hasty, the blowhard versus the immovable legislation. Anyone unsure about what the government can or cannot do (let alone a lone wolf Minister), should read the legislation. Shane Jones appears to have not done his homework.

My son is a pilot for Qantas flying their domestic routes. He commented that they are so many pilots short that the remaining pilots are flying their maximum number of hours. This situation is common to most airlines, including AIR.
