1 00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:03,680 Speaker 1: And Amanda jam Nason. 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:05,120 Speaker 2: Down to the Jonesy no matter of arms to the 3 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,920 Speaker 2: pub test today Quantus does it passed the pub test? 4 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:10,200 Speaker 2: You would have seen Alan Joyce on the news facing 5 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 2: the grilling from the Senate Inquiry. 6 00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:14,680 Speaker 3: Yees Senate Select Committee yesterday. A couple of things came up, 7 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 3: a couple of big things that the government on behalf 8 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:21,280 Speaker 3: of Quantas said no to Qatar Airlines bringing in more 9 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 3: flights to Australia, so getting rid of the competition. And 10 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 3: I guess as you say, they are a national airline, 11 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 3: but it meant that we pay more for our flights 12 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 3: because we don't have enough competition. Four hundred and seventy 13 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,600 Speaker 3: million dollars that's what Quantus has of customer money for 14 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 3: canceled flights. During the pandemic, Quantus got two point seven 15 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,560 Speaker 3: billion dollars in taxpayer handouts and we're still paying enormous 16 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,159 Speaker 3: amounts of money for our flights. Lots of jobs were 17 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,240 Speaker 3: lost quant Another point, of course, is that Alan Joyce 18 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,520 Speaker 3: has picked up a number of bonuses along the way. 19 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,880 Speaker 3: He's expected to get twenty four million when he winds 20 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 3: up in a couple of time and. 21 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 2: He forges some bonuses though a while back. 22 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 1: Well. 23 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 3: It was also speculated yesterday that he said that while 24 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 3: they were making such a loss, they wouldn't be paid bonuses. 25 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,959 Speaker 3: He was challenged at the committee to counter the information 26 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 3: that they moved those bonuses to the side until Quantus 27 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 3: makes more money and then they'll collect that money. So 28 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 3: lots of things came up about Quantus. 29 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:13,039 Speaker 1: Yes, you say the. 30 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:14,960 Speaker 2: Middle towards Connas. The old man flew with them for 31 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 2: a thousand years, My sister still works with them. 32 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 3: All I loved Quantus, but when there's so much more, 33 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 3: I'm looking to go overseas with my sons at the 34 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 3: end of the year. Quantus is for a business class 35 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 3: flight is ten thousand more than Air New Zealand for 36 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,320 Speaker 3: the route that I want to take right that's if 37 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,399 Speaker 3: he's coming with me, that's and that is very expensive 38 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 3: and the planes unders knew all of that stuff. You 39 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,759 Speaker 3: want to support Quantus, but financially, how can. 40 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 2: You could you vote with the you know your wallet? 41 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 2: Don't you just go with the other airlines? And right 42 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 2: now Quantus owe me eight hundred and forty bucks. 43 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 3: I flew Contus recently to go to Brisbane. Flight was 44 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 3: canceled on the way. Their flight was canceled on the way. 45 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 2: I'm sure it's an easy process to get your money 46 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 2: back now. We spoke to Callum the fellow from Quatis 47 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 2: last week. I'm just yet getting around to ring that 48 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 2: particular the number. Well, it's a shame where at this 49 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 2: point it's a shame the quint is who we used 50 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 2: to hold with such a steam that was number one, 51 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 2: and we loved when it got quoted in movies and stuff. 52 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 3: We get that there's been a pandemic, but come on, 53 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 3: when you get rid of all your staff, then wonder 54 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,359 Speaker 3: why you can't keep up when we all want to 55 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 3: fly again. Quantest does it past the pub test? 56 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: Quantitstone past the pub test. I was there for thirty 57 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 1: years and in April twenty one I was made redundant. 58 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: Alan Joyce is getting twenty four million and I've struggled 59 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: to find mini for employment. So no, Quanta Stone past 60 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: the pub test. 61 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 2: No, No, definitely not. 62 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,959 Speaker 1: I find Alan Joyce very arrogant and condescending and with 63 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 1: the prit credit doesn't give a two about us. I'm 64 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: not catching planes at the moment, but unfortunately I think 65 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: they're destroying the good name of the airline, and I 66 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: think that they should pay whatever they have to pay 67 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: back because people will go somewhere else and they're going 68 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: to end up losing. Got a lot of friends that 69 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: have worked for Quantas, and what they don't realize is 70 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: that the Kevin crew are paid half of what they 71 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: have paid prior to Joyce joining and two of the 72 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,639 Speaker 1: simul that seems to secret the media as well as 73 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: he's pay day gone back was half fifty percent. They're understaff, 74 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 1: there WoT of struggling, but he is just cruising and 75 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: just getting away with everything. 76 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 2: I had a fight and they canceled, and when they canceled. 77 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: In the credit they deducted a cancelation fee. 78 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,959 Speaker 2: So I went to my bank, said I paid this 79 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,119 Speaker 2: to a credit card, and they got the money back, 80 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 2: saying I never got what I plaid for. 81 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: I bet a lot of people don't know that about 82 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: him paying with credit cards. They do. 83 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:32,639 Speaker 3: You's someone got to him.
