WestCoast Grrrl
I never really understood why the westcoast base was established.Other than decentralising flying from Sydney and cutting down on accommodation and allowances there was never going to be enough flying to go around.By establishing bases all over Australia Qantas has created self interest groups,interested in their own piece of turf and not much else.This provides the company with a pool of flight attendants who have an allegiance to nobody and will operate whenever required as they have very little flying.All of this based on parochial nonsense....Westcoast,Eastcoast Melbourne,Brisbane Bangkok,Auckland.....we all do the same job for Godsake!!!
In ten years time someone will realize that the conditons which Crew lost were lost because of myopic self interest.
If you are not happy with the FAAA get stuck into your local representation...Log into the FAAA website and send messages regarding your discontent.Be proactive about your circumstances instead of being an apathetic whinger.
You could of course become a REAL westcoast girl....take up the London Base and live on the Westcoast of the UK
