Marsha,
I'm sorry to see so many good Australian based FAs let go in favour of overseas based crew.
The disease that afflicts qf is the, "management performance bonus."
It stifles investment in planes and equipment and guarantees that a short term approach to decision making is taken at all levels of [mis]management.
I seriously doubt that qf will ever hire permanent FAs ever again. Certainly not given the direction of the PRESENT federal government.
Why hire Australians, who you have to pay a living wage when you can hire offshore and do otherwise???
