Agree with you totally. Never a truer word said - particularly this...
I agree QF should look after their own before anyone else, its not fair that Australian cabin crew positions are going off-shore when all staff have contributed to the success of the airline in such tough times.
However, I am sure you will also agree that the preferential treatment afforded to overseas contract labour over their own staff is, at least in my view, ethically flawed.
I would like to make clear that I have never endorsed, nor suggested, that internals should be treated any more favourably than those on Career Progression or Divisional Transfer agreements. As you have said, these are long-standing agreements that have been formally made to facilitate movement between flying divisions.
In short, the way the majority have been treated by this whole grand plan is wrong.
Hopefully, amends can be made in the future through increased Career Progression transfers etc. as you alluded to in your post.
