my partner raised another issue.... WHERE in the document does it specify that you will take your days off in your home base? What is stopping them do what Jetstar do/did and have you take your days off in another city.

I stand to be corrected, but we both looked over it, and cant find it. If it does not specifically state that you WILL be rostered your days off in your HOME base, then they CAN do it.

lizzydizzy, the economic crisis is already showing signs of recovery. Virgin Blue is doing very very well - and would have shown more black ink had it not been for the perpetual stuffups by godfrey and his high fiving friends in head office. Despite their (acknowledged by many) 'stuff ups' (cant swear on here), they are trying to get cabin crew to pick up the slack. In the meantime, load factors show signs that we are winning QF group pax over (increasing our market share), yield is lower at the moment so higher load factors than QF means Virgin is probably doing better.

THE COMPANY WILL NOT GO BROKE IF YOU VOTE NO TO THIS AGREEMENT

The company want to get this through before july when they would be forced to include the FAAA in their discussions. They are DESPERATE, trying dirty tactics. They know that once the FAAA are involved, they WILL NOT get you as cheap.
