The rally officials and employees of Qantas that occur during these few weeks has crippled the largest airline operating to-10 world. They demanded higher wages and the certainty of fate as an employee, because Qantas employee association negotiations with the company held tough so that employees consisting of pilots, mechanics, catering and service was on strike. Impact the company's country of origin of Kangaroos had to cancel 600 flights last few months, cancel the trip about 70 thousand passengers, and cost the company about 70 million Australian dollars. What's worse, due to no pilots to fly, and mechanics who handle the technical condition of aircraft, Qantas was forced to impound the entire plane, amounting to 108 units. That caused the company to lose revenue to 20 million dollars per day. But it's still not the worst compared to the Qantas reputation plummeted due to the strike action, for having abandoned the passengers from all over the world.

Luckily down state courts directly mediate the problems that occur on both sides, so that eventually the airline crew would return to work, although such an agreement is not yet known what has been created as a bridge agreement.
