Qantas crews vote to strike over pay; airline plans contingencies

Qantas Airways flight crews voted to strike over 'rock bottom' pay, with the airline stating it has contingency plans to minimize operational impact. The strike threat introduces near-term operational and cost uncertainty for Qantas, though the airline's mitigation measures may limit disruption. This is a labor dispute with potential implications for Qantas's share price and broader Australian aviation sector.
