I dont find it acceptable AT ALL, and I am sure you wouldnt find it acceptable if all B.A. flights out of Australia were crewed by Australians or all B.A. flights out of the United States were crewed by Americans, that's what we are talking about here.
There are 400 positions on offer and say no current long haul crew go up to London, that means ALL flights into and out of the U.K. will be crewed by U.K. Citizens as Qantas has made it clear NO Australian based crew will be ever going back. That is my point, it is unacceptable to have a base full of U.K. Citizens operating OUR national airline.
The chances of getting a Flight Attendant job with Qantas in Australia are slim to none these days so why should U.K. Citizens be taking jobs that thousands of Australians rightly deserve. That is why I hope all 400 positions are filled and continue to be filled by Australians ONLY.
