What surprises me about those who post here with the attitude, " oh well , get with the program as the times are [not for the better] changing" is the apparent resignation that nothing can be done about it.
These changes are the result of 10 years of conservative government coupled with their new found senate control.
Wake up, read a newspaper for a change and inform yourselves about the political process in this country.

"Never before in Australia's history have the Australian voters got it so wrong"................

Tuner2,
you are right about the projected hours being around 190 per roster.
Its being called out on standby DURING the roster that has our KIWI friends doing 240 PLUS.
Allowances?
$10 000 AUD max.
Do you have ANY idea the rate of allowances in JNB, PVG, BOM and the like????

papa smurf,
you certainly do live in Utopia.
Utopia would be a place where suitable casuals are transfered to full time positions after a period of time.
Qantas IS NOT Utopia.
On the contrary, Qantas has become [under dixon] somewhere FAR more Orwellian
