I got news for yah, it's not just Qantas. I've got some friends who work in the industry and they told me they purposely toss the shit out of bags just for the fun it, but also because they just having a bad day and take their anger out on the bags. They aren't paid enough and don't have time to treat every bag with care. That's what they told me. They literally don't give a shit about any bag.

It's very likely this job will be replaced entirely automated robots/machines in the near future. Probably just have a few guys to manage the machines all day.

If they aren’t paid enough are they aware that they can apply for different jobs?

Everyone I know that works for airlines loves to travel. And they get the huge benefit of traveling on standby, to anywhere in the world, for dirt cheap.
