QTee -
I really like the JQ website. It is easy to navigate through and very simple. Has a link to the QF site for all the other jazzy stuff.
Just read our monthly newsletter and it says the uniform will be launched on 10 May. Maybe I should give everyone a bogus date so you all miss it! No. I guess we cannot hide the uniform - being forced to wear it and all.
I have been advised that I am the only person that likes the guys' jacket... Everyone laughed at me when I told them. So allow me to retract my statement. Let's just say that the BRIGHT ORANGE girls' jacket blinded me!
As cheap and nasty some parts of the JQ operation are (no free seating, reduced legroom, no Meet and Assist...) there is some very poshy bits. Like our little Pods to record sales and swipe credit cards and print receipts. Virgin is all manual on papar so I guess we should be glad for that. Will make our COMMISSION easier to track.
Also the ground crew will use a remote control tug that fits to the left main wheel. It is very snazzy and is making news world over they say.
The proposed initial onboard snack range is actually quite decent. They say it will grow further as they identify trends in what customers purchase. I have tasted the proposed food and can say it is very nice. They said it was in the same condition it woudl be by the time we eat it on board... I didn't beleive them 0 it was just so fresh. Lots of choice anyway. Except the bar drinks on offer are nothing in comparison to what we offered at Impulse. Better than the domestic ones we get now I guess.
Our crew meals will improve over the current ones. While not difficult - it is another plus!
Also the baggage on the A320 will be loaded in containers which will help speed baggage loading / delivery. The only domestic narrowbody to do so. I believe Ansett's A320 were bulk loaded. Also load control will be done by the Tech Crew on PDAs palm pilots. Apparently that is a good thing. Very fancy anyway.
Nothing makes up for our uniform. VILE VILE VILE! So guys -
May 10 2004 for the uniform. I can hardly wait

Dunno exactly, Darls. Anything I say would be a guess.
