“Qantas will continue to work with its current roster on various projects and is now specifically looking to expand its roster and increase specialist expertise at both local and international levels.”

Qantas really needs to evaluate their operations, logistics, & customer support before looking into their comms agencies.. you can’t polish a turd.
I can’t even begin to understand their scheduling of flights from Melbourne to Sydney last night, i.e.: flights delayed for more than 22hrs+…

@The Prive,
melbourne was hit by a storm and everything shut down.

@ not a QF apologist..
Storm – understandable.
A flight scheduled for later flies out before you; you then wait 24hrs to leave the city – not so much.

So… Are the existing agencies wondering how thin their slice is about to become?

Must agree with @ThePrive.
My last few flights with QF, especially international, have been shockers….delays due to maintenance seems to have been a problem nearly all the time, perfunctory service,ordinary food.
Mind you, the advertising is getting pretty tired too.
