No the LHR base does not have the support of the FAAA international div.
As far as the domestic division they have no choice, their president is currently on LWOP for 2 years up there being a CSM with you guys, but I can tell you this, the officials and domestic crew are not happy about it, have a look at their web page they even had to write a letter to placate their members.
Geez PP I thought you would have known about this.
Wan2fly, Like I said before I have nothing against the new ones that have been employed in LHR as they did not know any better.
However when I see an EX S/haul or L/haul on the crossover I will not greet them, they are traitors.
In the 80's the LHR base was an extension of operations in SYD on the same conditions and pay and union as SYD, actually the basing was well paid, and they were employed by QF not another company like QFUK.(No leave without pay, No contracts, you simply went to LHR for 1 or 2 years)
The Tokyo base was set up due to Japanese government requirements, and the pay scale for the flight attendants was 35%more than SYD, again better conditions.
You LHR traitors simply don't get it, The base in LHR was set up for one reason only, and that is the water down our conditions and you are helping them.
When the 2 year stint is finished (if it lasts that long) you will come crawling back here and whinge and whine to FAAA at how you have been treated.
