Dogs...A Pommy
Ok my English friend instead of commentary on Qantas,how about you make some observations about BA.
They have more crew on a jumbo.
Receive more in allowance.
Are paid more (exchange rate allowed for)
All this is because they have an excellent association and are united.
The UK does not have a very extensive shorthaul net work as the place is so small.
No room for treachery from shorthaul crew.
Two things lead to our renumeration.
1.The Australian government floated the Australaian dollar in 1984.
2.The Company "forced" a bid system on us in 1988.
This reduced our standown from 75% to 50 % and paid us an hourly rate.A rate they introduced not us.
Now they complain.
In 1983 my allowances were worth nothing and I got paid peanuts.I didn't mind I loved the job and Qantas.
I had a second job(like most of us)as cruise director on one of the larger boats cruising around the harbour.
So my pommy friend do a bit more research before you open your gob.
BTW what do YOU do to earn a crust?
