Friendly people, staff travel benefits, changing all the time

Disconnects between GM and Executive levels Squeezing employee numbers, but burning cash elsewhere.
Advice to Management
Talk to the employees that do the work, not always the management level view Talk to the employees about what works and doesn't work Run your own race, it's not always about qantas.

Treat your employees right ( learn some people skills) so that they can mentally and physically go to work with the capability to deliver the service that the customers deserve. Stop stepping on people to get to the top, without those below you you won't have a job. Stop letting valuable, high performing crew members walk away.

RecommendsNeutral OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at Virgin Australia Airlines full-time for more than 5 years
Pros
Excellent staff travel benefits, business is dynamic and everchanging, generally innovative as a business and trying to win, youthful and energetic
Cons
Work harder for less money than the main competitor, business sometimes does things “half assed” to save a dollar, promotions impossible unless you are friends with people at the top
Advice to Management
Avoid the cost cutting low cost mindset! It’s no longer a low fare airline and the cost cutting shows (eg 1/4 sandwich for an inflight “meal.”.. just give the pax the whole damn sandwich and wear the additional 50c cost!)
