Is Qantas sorry – or just sorry it got caught?
Qantas has been told it’s the “wrong kind of sorry”.
Five years after illegally outsourcing 1800 ground staff, the airline has been hit with a record $90 million penalty on top of compensation for workers.
Qantas is promising cultural change, but the court’s judgment questions whether the airline’s remorse is real or just for show, given the move saved it hundreds of millions of dollars in the long run.
Today, Rampart founder and author of The Chairman’s Lounge: The Inside Story of How Qantas Sold Us Out, Joe Aston, discusses what this ruling means for the airline – and whether anything has changed since Alan Joyce’s departure.
