This is a pointless debate.
I don't want to get involved and as I explained I don't believe that flight attendants are capable of negotiating at the level that QF are playing at and I certainly did not say nor believe there is a simple solution.
And I have made two suggestions but still I am accussed of "saying nothing".
My thought on protecting crew conditions is that the FAAA should employ strategic, industrial muscle. And be prepared to pay for it.
Clearly there are no other answers from this forum and if it is true that some of the posts are from FAAA officials then there are no answers there either.
And if that is saying nothing then nothing is what I will say!
Simple eh!
