Hey guys, this is an interesting topic for one who is already employed with QF Short haul.
I am impressed especially with Ditzyboys attitude about professionalism. Well said. I do have one piece of advice for all of you wannabe Long Haul or Short haul F/As.
For all future EBAs you need to insist upon a transfer ability from "theSTAR" or AO to allow you to get into Long Haul/Short Haul.
Why shouldnt you be able to transfer in after a suitable period of time. If you dont have that ability then you will feel like you are being used and not appreciated by your employer. Who wants to feel like that all the time and what is a valid reason preventing a reasonable transfer process?
One positive is it will make you appreciate, and maybe not criticise those of my colleagues you hear whinge on here about their increasingly deteriorating conditions. Remember their conditions will one day hopefully be your conditions. No one is going to make the transfer happen by itself. If you want it then your voice needs to be heard, Its going to be up to you to make it happen.
