Njengoko abaqhubi beenqwelo-moya beQantas beceba ugwayimbo kwiinzame zabo zokufumana umvuzo ongcono kunye neemeko, iinkumbulo ezimbi zogwayimbo lwabaqhubi beenqwelo-moya basekhaya oluyintlekele ngo-1989 ziyabuya zibuyela kushishino lwasekhaya.
IKomishoni yoNyulo yase-Australia iqhuba ivoti esemthethweni yamalungu e-Australian kunye ne-International Pilots Association, emele malunga ne-2500 Qantas Group pilot, ukuba benze isigqibo ngekhondo elilandelayo.
Ishishini lalapha ekhaya ngoku lijongene nokulinda ngoloyiko ukuya kutsho kwiintsuku ezingama-28 ngelixa kusenziwa uvoto.
Uqhankqalazo olupheleleyo lwathathwa njengolusekupheleni kwezicwangciso zentshukumo zabaqhubi, kodwa isithethi se-AIPA izolo siqinisekisile ukuba yenye yeenketho kwi-ajenda.
"Kulusizi ukuba sifikelele kweli nqanaba," utshilo isithethi se-APIA.
Ngaphezu kweminyaka engama-90, abaqhubi beenqwelomoya beQantas kwiimeko zaseOstreliya banikezele ngenkcubeko yokhuseleko kunye nokugqwesa kubakhweli beQantas. Yonke le nto ngoku isemngciphekweni.”
Ngaphandle kwenyathelo lokugqibela elithathiweyo, ukulibaziseka, ukuphazamiseka kunye nokurhoxiswa kweenkonzo zeQantas kulindeleke.
Uqhankqalazo lwabaqhubi beenqwelo-moya luka-1989, olwaluqhutywa ngabaqhubi beenqwelo-moya abavela e-Ansett, e-Australian Airlines nabanye, lwaqhwalelisa uqoqosho lwaseFar North.
Kuqikelelwa ukuba kuxabisa imali emalunga nesigidi esi-1 seerandi ngosuku, ukuya kuthi ga kwiibhiliyoni ezine zeerandi kuzwelonke.
Umnini-ndawonye weNdawo yokutyela yaseDaintree Tea House uRichard Seivers uthe ugwayimbo luka-1989 luphantse lwabangela ukuba ishishini lakhe laphuke.
“Silahlekelwe yimali eninzi ngexesha loqhankqalazo kwaye andiqondi ukuba sakha sayibuyisela,” utshilo.
“Sineenkumbulo ezimbi zoqhankqalazo kwaye sikwimfazwe eyaneleyo esele ingekho enye intlekele efana nale yenzekayo.”
Isazi ngezoqoqosho saseCairns uBill Cummings ukhumbula kufuneka abhabhe ngenqwelomoya ye-RAAF ngexesha loqhankqalazo lwabaqhubi beenqwelomoya ngowe-1989.
“Ugwayimbo luka-1989 lwaphantse lwenzeka ngobusuku kwaye lwaba lubi kakhulu, ngakumbi kuba lwalandelwa kukudodobala kwezoqoqosho ekwakufuneka sibe nako,” utshilo.
“Ishishini lezokhenketho lonke lanqunyulwa nje ngobusuku kwaye kwathatha iinyanga ukubuyisela imeko.
“Kule meko ikhoyo ngoku nabaqhubi beenqwelomoya beQantas, kufanele ukuba sibekwe ngcono kuba sinoJetstar kunye noVirgin basabhabha.
"Kodwa nasiphi na isenzo seQantas siya kuba nefuthe elibi apha."
INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- A full-scale strike was considered to be at the extreme end of the pilots' industrial action plans, but an AIPA spokesman yesterday confirmed it was one of the options on the agenda.
- IKomishoni yoNyulo yase-Australia iqhuba ivoti esemthethweni yamalungu e-Australian kunye ne-International Pilots Association, emele malunga ne-2500 Qantas Group pilot, ukuba benze isigqibo ngekhondo elilandelayo.
- “We lost a lot of money during the strike and I don't think we've ever made it back up,”.
