flugenluft,
how many of the Australian FA groups who's pay you are comparing with longhaul crew routinely operate 13+ hour tours of duty?
How many operate through multiple time zones?
How many operate a 3 class full service product?
How many operate multiple A/C types?
How many spend 7+ months of the year away from home/family fullfilling their employment obligations?
How many spend most if not all of the time they do have at home battling with the effects of jetlag and sleep deprivation?
Oh by the way. I'm not complaining about ANY of the above . Just wishing to point out the UNIQUE circumstances relating to my employment.
I wonder if the fact that we DO earn more than other FA groups in Australia may have something to do with some/all of the above?
We await your learned and "balanced" views.
