TSSOV,
I'm guessing jj7''s comments are born of experience and not an attempt to bad mouth a rival airline.
Many of us have first hand experience in the immoral way QF treat it's operational staff,when unprotected by a fair and equitable award.
I have no idea if you have any experience in longhaul flying but if you do how does this pattern sound to you?
AKL-BNE-SYD--24
SYD-SIN --24
SIN-FRA --24
FRA-SIN --24
SIN-SYD --48 [1 day used for EP/other training]
SYD-BNE-AKL
With no reqirement for stand down beyond 2 days you are then off to LAX.
AKL based adecco staff are treated as nothing more than a means of production as demonstrated by this totaly inhumane pattern.
Rumour has it that CASA found two AKL staff asleep [a common occurance] at their jumseats on taxi. After investigation into the patterns they were subjected to they were suddenly given 48 hours in SIN.
Anyone who thinks that the proposed LHR base crew will be treated any better is delusional.
Greed at QF knows no limits so stock up on chemicals to help you cope.
Not pretty?...................its the truth.
