Thousands of Qantas passengers at airports around the world are wondering how they're going to get to their destinations.<br/> But an Australian tribunal hearing to end the dispute that led the airline to ground its entire fleet has adjourned without a decision.<br/> Qantas's reaction to the long-running row over pay and cost-cutting plans is being condemned by the Australian Council of Trade Unions.<br/> Its assistant secretary says documents presented to the tribunal show the airline's decision to ground its fleet was carefully planned.<br/> SOUNDBITE: Tim Lyons, Assistant Secretary, Australian Council of Trade Unions, saying (English):<br/> "This has been in the works, in the planning inside this company, for an extended period of time. It was a deliberate strategy, a deliberate strategy to cause damage to the Australian economy, to cause damage to Qantas customers, and cause damage to Qantas workers."<br/> At least seven Qantas flights were already in the air bound for Singapore when the airline grounded its fleet.<br/> Passengers now stranded at Changi airport were struggling to make alternative travel plans.<br/> SOUNDBITE: Michael Purcell, stranded passenger, saying (English):<br/> "They're putting us up for the night and they're giving us a meal and after that I don't know what's going to happen. Because on the sheet it only has accommodation and a meal provided so we don't even know if it's for tomorrow or Monday or Tuesday. We might have to pay out of our own pockets."<br/> SOUNDBITE: Jeff Hanwroght, stranded passenger, saying (English):<br/> "Hi brother Bruce, just like to say thank you for leaving me stranded here. Seems a bit greedy of you asking for an increase in this economic standing. Hope you're feeling proud of yourself, Bruce."<br/> All eyes are now on the Australian labour tribunal hearing.<br/> If it orders and end to the industrial action Qantas is expected to take to the skies again.<br/> Paul Chapman, Reuters
