nothing changes

can i please just say one thing?

i dont care if people get stuck into me on this, i understand long hauls frustrations as well as short hauls, but hey if u dont like it get out! its simple as that, having been on line for 18 months i see it everyday, and i wonder why these people who complain are still around.

yes we all are being screwed by the company, it sucks, we are just a number, and really they dont give 2 hoots about us.

but where else will u get a job that pays so well, with little amount of training and the benefits associated with it?

put yourselves in a jetstar flight attendants shoes for a day, then i am sure u will think differently. Or even worse put yourself in my shoes, the poor little casual who covers your sick leave, is always willing to work (cause u never know it may not b there next week), this casual doesnt get band payments, no holidays, no staff travel, and is constantly reminded that "you are just a contractor, u do not work for qantas"

Ps-this is not a whinge for me, just stating how it is for us. I doubt u would ever find a casual complaning, we feel lucky to have a job.

We get our rosters a week out which makes trying to organise our lives so much harder, im sorry guys but take a look around, you could be worse off, and be thankful u have a job.

Go ahead and tell me off all you want, i just think some people out there think the company owes them, if its no longer fun get out, you cant be doing yourself any good.
