Qantas mulls outsourcing 3000 jobs to Asia

     Sydney: Australia-based domestic and international airline "Qantas" is planning to offshore nearly 3000 jobs to Asia in order to bring about a change in the age-old work practices prevalent there. According to an AAP report, a number of Asian BPOs involved in overseas maintenance, repair and overhaul, are offering record low prices to bag the deal. According to the report, the airline is expected to make a decision early next year on whether to outsource the maintenance work, and the decision would affect operations in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Avalon, near Geelong in Victoria. About 1000 members of the airline's three major maintenance unions were told jobs would go offshore unless it received concessions from its workforce, and that the airline's performance was hindered by a lack of flexibility and old- fashioned work practices.
