From: The Ultimate Crew Rest....
str,
Thanks,the reason I am wondering about the financial viability of the LHR base is why the huge number of Thai crew operating on their flights and also why are there thai's doing 5 days standby's at a time? Why are they also cancelling some flights when there is an embargo on staff travel the loads are suppose to be very high

The cost of accomodation must be huge in comparison to 4 Thai crew arriving on a flight.

I have nothing against the crew employed by QFUK but people there and in QF QCC have to understand that this base has taken away a lot of flying for us and that means money and whenever you jeopordise peoples income they are bound to get upset.However,I do not hate anyone , I am just dissapointed in the company's continued attitude.If the company really wanted to save on hotels..etc..then why did they not offer a base in LHR to the techies?

The answer is that they want to get rid of as many Australian based cabin crew by stealth,so much for the spirit of Australia

There would not be one crew based in Australia that would lose a moments sleep if the base folded,it isn't about the crew over there just the principle of the matter
