Circumstances

The circumstances under which the LHR base was created have a lot to do with the negative attitude towards it.Some of the smugness displayed by some of the crew relocating didn't help.(Q Tee in particular)The negativity will only grow exponentially if posts such as Jasmins continue.He/she is entitled to his/ her opinion but denigrating the Thai flight attendants won't help.The obscene haste in which the base was established and the lack of experience meant that the base was going to be a shambles for a long time to come.If it continues it may well be QFs undoing in the UK and ultimately have a resoundingly negative effect on the brand generally.I can only hope that a major emergency doesn't occur on an aircraft with crew that have so little experience.
ALL the crew are ex Qantas long and shorthaul?I don' t think so.There are a good percentage of the LHR based crew who are locally employed and who have little or no experience of a longhaul operation.
Travelling to Australia from the UK?...do your self a favour ..fly with any one but Qantas.Well at least for the next two years.
