As much as your post makes sense. I'm afraid anyone attending the Friday midday management teams meeting gets to see how stupid some of the questions being asked are. Management continually rolling their eyes and referring to it being answered before. Plus management chanting the same old mantra of " the package is competitive, we are aware of the attrition, and we will address it accordingly. Or we will look into it and get back to you". People "volunteering" still for loops and complaining about having hours chopped or 7 day lockdown in the headland. If sickness is their big determiner of promotion then that's just a band-aid over a festering sore. Honestly management won't do anything until they have to. The China allowance was an answer to high sickness. The quarantine allowance was a bribe to get volunteers when there were none. The low MPP for the 747 and higher allowance vs the other fleets! If sickness is high enough for q3 patterns then they will introduce a q3 allowance. The same way they did for cabin crew on high sickness patterns. The squeaky wheel gets the grease!
