The current roster (bid period 237) saw an increase in flying hours available, especially for BFirst F/A's. However, overtime was on a voluntary basis.
Flying hours seem to have levelled out at approximately 183 hrs for bid period 238.
We are basically working at 1 trip per week (3 days off and 4 days on - although you do get home early on the 4th day).
There are some nice HKG & SIN trips with 63 - 87 hour slips respectively. Not bad.
As for the money being bad - well its comparable to what other airlines pay over here. I agree it's certainly not as lucrative as our wage back in Australia (comparatively to cost of living etc), but it's ok.
Whether the LHR base remains as a long term venture or not, the fact remains that it exists at the moment and a lot of the posts of doom & gloom on here are absolute rubbish.
Can we please give it up and find something else to discuss. I'm sure that the non-QF members on here are sick and tired of hearing QF staff go on and on about it.

Postscript: This post was not intended to provoke or inflame the current fragile environment, merely an expression of frustration at the continual flogging of a well and truely dead horse!
