Qantas flights in and out of London have developed an English accent British flight attendants replace Australians, according to a report in The Australian.
The Spirit of Australia’s trademark “g’day” started to go missing between London and the airline’s Asian hubs of Singapore, Bangkok and Hong Kong after Qantas set up a cabin crew base in London in 2005, the report stated. Now, with all but about 80 of the 550 jobs at the base have been taken-up by non-Australians, Qantas passengers find themselves surrounded by British accents and regaled by a local twang only when an announcement is made from the cockpit.
