Immediately Qantas have offered us long haul crew as much leave as we want over the next few months! Amazing that now they have transferred a huge amount of our flying to the short haul crew they are now over crewed in the long haul division.
I can guarantee that very shortly Qantas will offer redundancies to long haul crew, of course they will call it voluntary redundancy. What they are doing is gradually eroding the flying and conditions for long haul crew to force us into taking pay cuts so we get paid the same as short haul crew.
Its time everyone started contacting the company and asking questions:

I am also going to be calling the FAAA tomorrow and asking what they are going to do re: further attacks on our employment stability.
I believe this latest underhand trick by QF managers breaches our EBA 'Majority of long haul flying will be done by long haul crew'. I say we should strike ASAP.
