Re: Qantas moving jobs offshore... again True. Plus Australians are usually used to cheaper airfares right now. Qantas has an extremely high cost base and needs to reduce costs, which includes some outsourcing (sending some jobs overseas, not transferring them from MEL to BNE) in order to...

Re: Qantas moving jobs offshore... again ah whoops, the above post was meant for Rafy Yeah they did. Essentially they're splitting up the management or something like that so they can focus on profitability better or something like that. IMHO, I think it's a waste of time as it'll just create...

Re: Qantas moving jobs offshore... again ^

Don't worry! As previously mentioned, you don't need to do things everybody else is doing to have 'fun'. I'm a weirdo, and there are other unusual people out there as well. As long as one isn't bad to others, this shouldn't be a source of depression. Common music tastes are a great starting...

Re: Qantas moving jobs offshore... again yeah but as you said, that was 100 years ago. Today, it can be said that they're still keeping jobs in Australia (in this case). Although there is a net loss of jobs with this move, none of these jobs (as of now) are going overseas As much as I love...

Re: Qantas moving jobs offshore... again This is kinda misleading. Yes Qantas has sent jobs offshore, but it isn't with this case. What's really happening is that the Melbourne-Tullamarine facilities are being closed down and are being transferred to Brisbane airport. They're also retaining the...

^, more specifically, chemical engineering This really seems like a stupid question, but I just want to know about the field What type of work does it involve? Does an engineer design objects etc. ? Is a lot of physics involved in engineering courses in uni, even with chemical engineering...

last year (I think, or maybe a few years ago) for standard: 0.2% (64 people) got band 6 5% got band 5 for advanced: 13% got band 6 40% got band 5 I was in standard earlier on in the year (before changing to advanced), hoping for better english marks. Instead the only difference I noted was the...

I type my notes, but writing them out is really good for your hand. However typing gives you the flexibility of easily editing your notes, whether they be big or small changes. Plus, my handwriting is less than satisfactory so it's probably easier on my eyes if I read times new roman/calibri...

Thanks everyone :)

What's the recommended speed on a 'smallish' (narrow, one-laned) roundabouts?

Driving has been fine for me so far, but every second attempt of mine at a roundabouts has been multi-facepalmable Any tips for this roundabout n00blet? I especially have trouble exiting one

Ah now I see it. What I also see is USYD is at no.18

It's number 31...

Okay then, QS is not credible. Although UMelb is ahead of USYD, USYD is still within the top 200 in the world so it doesn't 'suck'. Both are great uni's and I wouldn't mind studying in either (well USYD's a priority cos I live in Sydney and it's a lot more convenient). What I find interesting...

ANU: Rank 27 UMelb: Rank 31 USYD: Rank 38 UNSW: Rank 49 http://www.topuniversities.com/university-rankings/world-university-rankings/2011 If the QS Ranking system is credible, then here are the ranks. Yes, according to this UMelb ranks higher than USYD, but USYD doesn't 'suck'. Aus already has...

Multiple choice went well (think I lost a mark though), short answer also went well but I think I would have lost a large amount of marks in the extended response since I missed a major point or two :// The ex-response was on price mechanism, so I just wanted to make sure with input from this...

How would you guys define the price mechanism?

You guys are so damn smart! :O I screwed some of my maths questions in my half yearly (logs!) and I may have lost a whole chunk off my eco extended response! (studied half of it the night before, which surprisingly helped heaps and the rest of the exam was easy). Now I'm expecting mediocre...
