Great to see that QF is focusing on the important issues.

They're having boots?

Wonder if it will be moleskins and blue shirt with Akubra a la John Howard :shock:

You do realise that different departments do different things and not all areas do the same thing?

Love seeing a great SA icon being rewarded. Maybe Fruchocs and Farmers Union Iced Coffee are next?

Even for a fluff piece, talking about what brand of shoes the pilots wear is pretty weak.

Play nice people!

Probably means a lot to RM Williams. And heaven help SA - any good manufacturing story is a great story right now. Great to see local industries being promoted ahead of cheaper imported products. More Companies should do this.

Bring it on I say.

When I see people still wearing clothing from the early noughties I normally jump to the conclusion they are either a long serving public servant or a dot com billionaire. Either way I don't want them at the controls of any plane I am in. Good move I say.

 

[get me outta here]

Did RM get taken over by someone overseas?

They sold 49.9% ownership to a venture capitalist I believe. Still based in SA. And Louis Vuitton!

Shoes have never been supplied as part of the uniform previously. Some pilots do wear RM Williams (or similar) boots. I don't.

I don't agree at all Russ.

It's part of the big picture and something that is worth a look at. The effort involved would be a very small percentage of effort by a section of the company that's pretty much isolated for the everyday operations of the airline.

Looking forward to this tomorrow morning - apart from Straitman, Mrs Straitman and me - who else is going??

 

[MrJetset]

QF WP,
We have had to withdraw from this event due illness. I sent you a massage several days ago.

 

[jb747]

Hopefully it will just be an RAAF style 'green bag'...and you've seen them...although I do note that when I wrote that in their suggestions, I didn't get a reply.

If QF WP doesn't want the massage, I'll take it.
