YellowFlag, thanks for supporting my point of view. You said exactly what I expect to hear from the current FAAA - "It's all too hard. The end is near!"
No I don't live under a rock and I am fully aware of the political environment we live in and that is precisely why I say that it's not enough to have a group of flight attendants fronting up to QF to negotiate for conditions etc.
The FAAA have to start looking for high-end industrial muscle. And I mean no disrespect to current industrial officers but clearly they are not up to the task any more. You get what you pay for and the FAAA are paying average wages for average staff.
You’ve heard the saying that builders have the worst houses, well unions are generally the worst employers.
So I say that yes times are tough in negotiations so the FAAA need to get tough people who are strategically smart and know the landscape.
