NSW: Qantas says work bans over Easter won't have impact

Qantas has brushed aside industrial action by its professional engineers as a scare
tactic .. saying works bans won't hurt operations or the Easter travel plans of passengers.

Members of the Association of Professional Engineers .. Scientists and Managers Australia
voted yesterday to extend overtime bans through the four-day break beginning from tomorrow
(Friday).

The union covering Qantas and Jetstar engineers says it can't guarantee flights will
run to schedule over Easter .. but Qantas says the union's action has been ongoing since
late last year.

The airline says it's not affected services.
