Absolutely hear what your saying and the great thing about all of this debate is we ask important questions of our employers and our reps. Whilst I agree staff travel has become somewhat useless, as far as I'm concerned if you are employed in the group, you should get the same staff travel. Shouldn't matter if you are mainline, link, one star or.. bin chicken
In respect to duty travel, Personally, if the aircraft has a business seat and im paxing on duty, I expect to be in it. Not down the back. If it's an all economy aircraft, then a extra leg / exit row seat that's an aisle or window with the seat next to me to be the last assigned on the aircraft is what I expect. It comes down to the company respecting the position I hold. (I think that's what's in the QF short haul eba or something similar). Why is JQ different? QF pilots get treated better on jq metal then JQ pilots. Why? It's simply disrespectful and not good enough.
Where is the open time system that was promised?
75 hours for EFA, ha get stuffed. JQ wonders why sick leave is so high...
Carers lines?
Had a crew meal on an international sector recently? You wouldn't feed it to your dog. Actually, dogs are treated better than the staff at jetstar.
late finishes and early starts between days off.
Let's not even talk about the hotel and transport situation of late.
