Do you get a refund if they are on strike or is it a case of they'll give you another flight at a different date, which is no use for you as you've already booked your year holiday entitlement for this one flight/holiday, That's usually the case with these airline wankers laughing

 

They will try to fuck you over mate but make sure you make them aware of this:

 

You will get a full refund if your flight is cancelled for industrial action
Due to EU regulations, airlines must provide you with an alternative flight to your destination or a full refund to be paid within seven days of the cancellation.

 

 

The only prob is they may not cancel it they may make you wait until another is available which in my experience can be anything from 1 day to a month, not good when you have to wait in the airport or risk losing your seat to someone there waiting already thumbsdown

 

Airline companies are cocks, They dont refund you ticket prices even when you cancel your flight over 6 months from the date the flight is to take off, then they sell your flight for the same amount again. Why the fuck hasn't the government brought in new laws for this? I've lost around £8,000 just on flights over a decade as they dont pay refunds, They only give you the taxes back, but even when the original reiceipt show tax at lets say £400, they only give you £100 back. cunts

Are the flight done through a travel agent or did you do it all yourself? If it's through a TA then you are fully covered and the TA are legally bound to refund you all costs, If not you are fucked with all your flights that aren't "Quantas"

I didn't book them, the better half did.  I know all flights are done through one place though, we thought of upgrading one but would have to do them all frown

Probably don't pass it on though Gaz, is the usual way these days, greedy shareholders who would rather leave employees with rubbish wages so they can get a bigger boat or an extra wing on the house uzi

By one place? Do you mean website or travel agent mate? If website then give them a call as some sites will sort this kind of thing out for you, If TA then like i said previously, You will be fully refunded by them, They legally have to do that.

The employees at Qantas want a fair pay deal. To put it in perspective, they are not getting improvements to their pay conditions, but the CEO just gave himself a $2 mil aud pay rise.

This!

It's pretty rude for the CEO to accept a 71% payrise when the EBA negotiations have broken down.  A nice big FUCK YOU to the workers that's for sure.

The hypocrisy of the wage rise is inconceivable. But the unions going for few percent is an outrage to the ill-informed.

When the company is losing $200 million a year!??!? They have to change the way they dobusiness if they want to HAVE a business. The companay is losing money and the stupid union and workers expect a pay rise?!?!? Fair enough the ceo shouldn't have got a pay rise, just because he got one, it doesn't mean they should get one. Labour & the unions will run this country into the ground again and it'll take another 10 years for the Liberal party to sort out their mess again.

How the fuck anyone can expect a payrise when their business is losing money is beyond me.

Losing 200mil a year? You're kidding right? They posted a $500+ million profit this year and $337 million the year before. 


Oh and for everyone Union bashing, yes sometimes they may go overboard but without them big business would just run riot and then everyone would be whinging how shit we have it at work. They have their place. You reckon you could negotiate your own EBA with a major corporation? I highly doubt it.

Change sometimes for often and I will agree with that statement.  As much as businesses would take advantage unions often do to get salaries and benefits that just don't match what is involved in the jobs.

I actually fly with them all the time. Probably did over 100 flights over the last 2 years and their customer service is far superior to any other airline. Never had to pay for a missed flight (probably missed about 15 flights) and was never a problem jumping on an earlier flight if I had finished work and got to the airport early.
