Ozcabin crew - 'annoyed' is an understatement if there ever was one!

Trolley_dolleyuk - You will not get to fly with Australian crew so there shouldn't be any aminosity. I believe each flight should have been crewed by mainly Australian's with a couple of English crew on board. But QF are greedy and don't want to pay for hotels in London for the Aussie crew. Its cheaper for them to overnight crew in Asia. QF mis-management don't care that Australians like to hear an Australian accent when they step onboard aircraft.

Of course there are a few crew re-locating from Oz to the UK for a 2 year contract but ultimately there will be a higher percentage of English crew onboard.

Good luck in your application, I think you should investigate why Australian crew aren't happy with the situation FYI. You can't change anything but good to know.
