Main Report
The airline is facing a tremendous problem from the unions with regard to certain demands with are mainly to pay higher wages and better working hours. On the other hand, Qantas wants to make changes and also wants the pilots to do the required transit checks rather than the licensed engineers. Qantas believes that it can and would be able to become more competitive and efficient at an international level but has emphasized regarding the cost of maintenance and repair which prevents it somewhat from the getting the desired goals and objectives. The demands can stop the progress that is somewhat a loss to the company which is performing really poorly in the last 5 years, by doing so the loss can be further plunge and cause problems. The pilot union has also emphasized for job security to its members which could lead to Jetstar the low cost airline pilots to be paid as close to its parent company that is Qantas which will make the airline unviable. However if the pilots of the subsidiary airline are fired then the Qantas group will be scattered and will destroy jobs. Other than that, Qantas has the problem of its staff not making changes according to the set standards recognized in the European countries. The new maintenance regulations require the staff to make the necessary changes to meet the requirement and standards of the country they are willing to work in and serve to. Qantas wants its pilot to do the required transit checks rather than engineer as it would save both time and money. However, the ALAEA doesn’t want to provide such provisions as proper transit checks can mean the difference between life and death.
In order to tackle the above mentioned problems, Qantas is willing to let go certain crew member in order to kick start its international operations which would provide profitability due to the grounding of the Singapore based Tiger airways. These overhauling will pave a new road which will focus mostly on future investments, cost cutting

    Employee voice has become increasingly popular in the 21st century as business have encouraged participative management, despite its popularity employee voice can produce challenges and disadvantages for the company. A realistic example of this is the Qantas airline issue where employees of the company refused to work due to work related matters and issues, resulting in Alan Joyce (CEO of Qantas) grounding the entire fleet.

    Unlike what it was five years ago, the demands of the employees of every airline company has raised of its initial standards. As using airlines today has changed from being a luxury to a necessity, airline companies now are prospering at a much higher rate than what they used to a few years ago.

This is the reason that the demands of the employees have also increased in a span of less than three years.
