that is why we have majority access to the Airbus A330
Tell that to the Perth Longhaul based crew.
The FAAA is fantastic, of course, as long as you are based in SYD.
The FAAA has sat back and watched while ALL the A330 (therefore ALL the flying) has been transfered from Longhaul to Shorthaul in Perth.
Now the Perth Based have the decision:
a) transfer to Shorthaul (ie take a massive pay cut, go on a b-scale with no bands, do more work for less pay, and drop down from CSM or CSS to FA)
b) pack up your life and transfer to another base, with little or no hope of being able to commute due to the short length of trips these days
c) stay Longhaul perth, do one 3 day trip a week, never have a life as you are constantly low-line and the company owns your A days.
And the FAAA has not done a single thing about it.
Guardian1 you obviously know the FAAA execs, maybe you should let them in on a little secret ..... there are bases full of members outside of SYD!
