What a sad state of affairs this thread has got to!
Everybody is just bitching and yelling at each other.
True to form, cabin crew are whining about something that has already happened. Something that is too late to change.
There is not one suggestion about how to fix it.
And why? Because long haul cabin crew are now totally unrepresented!
The long haul FAAA are now the laughing stock of QF management and are now at a point where QF won't negotiate with them - they just go ahead with the changes they want!
The word the CEO used recently to describe the FAAA was "unforgivable". That means he and his management team will not forgive the FAAA for what they did (threat of strike action).
Read that as 'why bother consulting with them!
I suggest someone needs to put a rocket up the FAAA before nothing is left.
BTW: I am not a member of the FAAA as I refuse to subsidise their childish, unprofessional behaviour. And when someone suggests that I may need them one day for support representation, I suggest walking in to a disciplinary with an FAAA official will get you sacked quicker than walking in with a camel suit on!
