Yeh and relocate to cairns to be a casual for just 3 weeks. HA!!!! The thing that gets me is they actually have the balls to ask people to do this.
Please tell me nobody has actually taken up this offer after all we have been thru?? Because if you have you must have rocks in your head and I don't care what your reasons are you are bloody mad and trust me you will regret it I can assure you.
I hope AO cabin crew do strike and stick it right up QF arse!
And before anyone gets all "oh you were a strikebreaker" on me let me just say I went through all the proper interviews, assesment, panel etc interviewd by QF flight attendants not Adecco being told all they way along it would be for an 11mth contract. Then I get offered the 3 mth positon which I take not really knowing what I was getting myself into (naive I know but S##t happens). After training finished I joined the FAAA and I can assure you there was no way in hell I would have worked if you guys had striked.
So please try to hold back on the abuse.
Oz,
A friend of mine took the 11 month contract position and after it ends she gets to go back to her old job at QF if she doesn't choose to go to London. I think alot of the 11 mth contractors are already QF staff. Also I believe a number of MAM casuals took up the 11 mth contract aswell so I would imagine they woud go back to working for MAM but i may be wrong.
Cheers,
