I agree but limiting to 20kg only particularly for an international flight is just impractical. Yes it saves money in many ways but the sheer number of people willing to pay excess to go over the 32kg these days means it is not practical.

I know this because having a constant back injury has taught me this...until you do actually slip a disc or heaven forbid rupture one then its hard to explain the sheer pain and disruption it causes to your life. not you personally Sarah, but anyone in general. |

the English man nailed it..32kg limit because Qantas can make money out of the extra weight...that's what it comes down to. Last edited by Montague S; 10th April 2008 at 08:47 PM. |

I used to work as a storeman for a company selling aged care products and we used to do 2 man lifts on 120kg ride-on scooters and load them manaually into shipping containers. I recall many days loading 40-foot containers all day with those scooters. I would take the 32kg bag any day.

We deal with those also and try to use two people to deal with them.

Hi there,
I read some months ago on another forum that industrial action was likely soon because over the years the number of handlers in a team loading an aircraft had gradually been reduced by the airline in question, essentially to generate cost savings and allow the said department management chain to achieve performance incentives. The result was that individuals were really having to flog their bodies to get aircraft turned around on time. Whether or not this holds any water, I don't know. But it seems a more plausible reason for unionised industrial action than just safety concerns.

It begs the question - is the nine network financially associated with Qantas at all? |
