DO NOT let these conditions in, go and stack shelves at Coles! Better still do a job that society needs and is not subject to constant erosion.
It was always NJS. Cobham owned NJS, now Qantas does.
Apparently Qantas have been slowing getting rid of the expensive NJS cabin crew by closing the bases that had the most of them and only employing Altara crew at the new bases. Darwin, Perth and Cairns had cabin crew who were working for NJS flying Qantas (Airlink) domestic services before Qantas had a domestic arm. 30+ years flying the same passengers to Alice Springs/Paraburdoo/Broome ect. Greeting the regular pax by name like they’re old friends. Very few relocated when the bases were closed as they had deep roots. Now the pax get to enjoy a 21 year old talking about how their friends got Covid from licking the floor at Monsoons…
