Qantas Is Asking Its Executives To Help Out As Baggage Handlers And In A Word: Good

Qantas has asked its senior executives and managers to step down from their cushy office jobs for a few months to work as baggage handlers, due to horrendous staff shortages. Per The Australian, Qantas chief operating officer Colin Hughes

“During your time in the contingency program, you’ll be an embedded resource within the ground handling partners,” he wrote.

“This means you’ll receive a roster, be scheduled to operate and be supervised and managed in the live operations by our grand handling partners.”

“We’ve been clear that our operational performance has not been meeting our customers’ expectations or the standards that we expect of ourselves – and that we’ve been pulling out all stops to improve our performance,” a spokesperson told The Guardian.

“As we have done in the past during busy periods, around 200 head office staff have helped at airports during peak travel periods since Easter.”
