1 00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:04,680 Speaker 1: This is gam Nation with Jonesy and the man Dan 2 00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:06,760 Speaker 1: to the Jonesy demand of arms for the pub test today, 3 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:09,160 Speaker 1: Quantus do they pass the pub test on the ABC 4 00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:11,119 Speaker 1: four Corners show last night. 5 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,920 Speaker 2: Well, for the last five years, Quantus has more or 6 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,640 Speaker 2: less been thirty percent more expensive than other domestic airlines, 7 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,560 Speaker 2: but people put up with that for superior's service. People 8 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:22,239 Speaker 2: feel they're not getting that anymore. And I know the 9 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 2: airline is saying that's pandemic interruption, but other people are 10 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 2: saying it's poorly trained, outsourced ground crew. That's the main 11 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 2: reason for ongoing issues of luggage not being unpacked from 12 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,600 Speaker 2: one flight to the next, luggage being left behind, planes 13 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 2: not being cleaned, flight's being delayed, flight's being canceled. Lots 14 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,479 Speaker 2: of people are losing their love for Quantis. 15 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 3: They spoke to a retired pilot who have said this first. 16 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 4: My career started with Quantas in nineteen eighty four. I 17 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 4: had a glorious career which finished in December twenty twenty, 18 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 4: so thirty six years with the company, and I totally 19 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 4: enjoyed my time with Quanis. I considered it to be 20 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 4: one of the greatest prival that anyone could have. 21 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 3: Having said that, he was then asked. 22 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 4: How do you feel about what's happening with Quantus now? 23 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 4: I'm sad and deeply sadden, both as an ex Conus 24 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 4: captain and as a frequent flyer. I've been loyal to 25 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 4: the company for a long time, and I don't think 26 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,039 Speaker 4: they value their workforce. I think the workforce are taken 27 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 4: for granted. I think the passengers are taken for granted. 28 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 4: And you know, their greatest asset is a loyal workforce. 29 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:27,759 Speaker 3: That's what it's about, really. But then again, I've got 30 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:29,759 Speaker 3: a soft spot for Connas. My dad worked for them 31 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 3: from nineteen sixty six up to two thousand and nine. 32 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,759 Speaker 3: My sister's still a pilot for Coitus, and I've never 33 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 3: had a complain about them. I've always I've always liked them. 34 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 2: Have you flown in recent mond No. 35 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,040 Speaker 3: Well, because we're in a pandemic, so I appreciate that 36 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 3: as well. So I've decided I don't need unless I 37 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 3: need to go somewhere, then I'll fly there. But I'm 38 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 3: not going to fly jet Start because I want to 39 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 3: get there. 40 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 2: That got people are saying Virgins do me a good job. 41 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 2: That the thing is that we were told hey, get 42 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 2: out there, travel, travel, travel, and then the airlines just 43 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 2: start up to it. So what do you think Quantus? 44 00:01:58,920 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 2: Is it past the pub test? 45 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 3: Hello? 46 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 4: From what? From? A lot of for instant use? 47 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 3: Of course they've gone downhill from some of the chronic 48 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 3: and a lot of them just don't want to use 49 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 3: many of all. 50 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,360 Speaker 2: I have just gon with them, easy breezy, and I 51 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 2: flew back from my destination with Jetstar and nothing but headache. 52 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 3: One hundred percent. 53 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 2: Quantious passes the pub test. 54 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 1: No, I don't think so. 55 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 4: I've think they're too expensive and too many issues. I've 56 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 4: plown with Virgin the last couple of times and I've 57 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 4: had no issues whatsoever. So I think I'll keep going. 58 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 4: I think they do because I'm a loyal, conscious customer, 59 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,679 Speaker 4: and I really do prefer their services over other airlines. 60 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 1: I will remain loyal. I know all the shortages at. 61 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 2: The moment I'm really affecting the airline in general. 62 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 4: But I really do think. 63 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:44,839 Speaker 2: It's passed the test. 64 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 3: It's going to be plas the compt honest was a bank, 65 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 3: there won't have been a royal commission. 66 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 4: Then. 67 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 2: I enjoyed t of being put down. 68 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 4: While the Royal Commission was going on.
