The one thats sure to occur when dickson finally leaves.
Oil prices must be putting enormous pressure on profits.
I wouldn't be leaving a full time job to join Qantas unless the job was operational.....
Middle "management" has bloated to the point of super morbid obesity under dickson with new broom sure to cut a swath through the ranks of the useless.
I'd be interested in the job if it meant I could make a positive difference to CC working life but I don't think that would be the case, would it? The job spec only mentions having crew experience as desirable. I've always felt it should be mandatory for a position like this but I guess they want people in that position who can be impartial. A lot of airlines seem to be going this way.
Ive heard a lot of rumour lately about the viability of the Qf CNS sh base... some positive ... some negative.... Other than the two daily NRT flights there is not a lot of work originating out of the base , therefore many of the domestic trips are 4 , 5, and 6 day trips ... doesnt seem cost effective to me especially when there is also a base manager, and several other admin staff to be added to the bottom line... what do you think about CNS future?.... What do you know about CNS future?..... What do you think you know about CNS future.... informed opinion please.
Well I speak with no authority whatsoever and this is completely my own conjecture. But I would agree that CNS may be a base QF would not want to hang onto. Jetstar have a base there and fly to two JPN destinations. Why bother running a QF plane to Narita for a leisure market that's seen better days? Japanese tourists are falling off like flies to CNS preferring instead SE Asia because of the favourable exchange rate. Not a lot of business flying done in and out of CNS.
Everytime I get on a flight other crew are saying that cns base is supposed to be closing down. I know the pilots will be going, but every time management reply to the cabin crew base closing they get very defensive. It doesn't make sense to have a base here in my opinion and many crew want to go south, yes some are very happy to stay but just as many want to go. Will be interesting to see if anything happens to the base with all these recent annoucements.
If any of you were at the CNS base when the GM visited the base back in mid-April, you would have known that she has strongly committed to the future of the CNS SH base and any rumor which suggests the closure of the base are purely rumor with no substance behind it.
Sad but true
