I have no prolem with Flight Attendants earning $70ky plus, providing that they are earning the money. You will never hear a passenger complain about good service, or the salary of the person providing it. Unfortunately, this is a point long since lost on the FAAA.
It is high time that either the FAAA woke up to reality, as the attitudes of its members fall further out of step with the rest of the world, so the pressure to rectify the situation increases on Australian airlines.
Ironically, they complain when Qantas establishes bases in Bangkok and London, yet surely in part they realise this is an attempt to improve service standards.
One can only hope sanity prevails before more jobs are exported.
