Tensions between Qantas and its 4000 international flight attendants have risen sharply and are bound to worsen, amid growing talk the airline could face widespread industrial action if it pushes to increase the number of overseas-based cabin crew.
Qantas's enterprise bargaining agreement with its crew expires in December and the airline is keen to increase the maximum 370 overseas-based flight attendants it can employ. That cap was set with unions two years ago.
After establishing cabin crew bases in New Zealand and Thailand some four years ago, Qantas is now mulling over new crew bases, such as South Africa, in a bid to slash wages and cut the hotel and meal allowances expenses for crew rested in long-haul destinations.
The Flight Attendants Association says Thailand-based Qantas cabin crew members, for example, receive about one-quarter the wages of their Australian counterparts.
``If it was true that Qantas was proposing an expansion of overseas places or a lifting of the current cap of those flight attendants, the FAAA and its membership would view that with the gravest concern,'' said the head of the union's international division, Michael Mijatov.
