JFK...... WHITE POINTER AND OTHERS
White Pointer and any others who are unsure how to vote should contact the FAAA directly.
The FAAA has repeatedly said rather than listen to ill informed nonsense, crew need to contact the FAAA office and air their questions directly.
White you have pretty much figured it out anyway.
Voting NO will result in the displacement of Aussie crew from LAX and Kiwi crew now doing Africa and Mumbai will take LAX slots from us.
You also hit the nail on the head .... Lowerlobe is prob a CSS or CSM who sees personal advantage if the dispensation is removed..because that would probably mean CSM's and CSS's would slip in JFK.
The sad irony is that under the new industrial laws the Company would probably move to promote overseas based crew.
The bigger issue is that it signals to QF we don't want our International Work. Mijatov indicated in his last newsletter that there will be a surplus of 160 in Long Haul by BP 244.
Only morons would advocate knocking back the JFK dispensation in the current environment..... these same morons would then be screaming if QF moves to compulsory redundancies in L/H.
AGAIN ANYONE IN DOUBT AS TO HOW THEY SHOULD VOTE SHOULD CONTACT THE FAAA. THEY HAVE DETAILED INFORMATION, AND MOST OF IT HAS BEEN GIVEN TO US REPEATEDLY IN THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS. THE ARGUMENT FOR A YES VOTE IS WITH THE BALLOT PAPER.
IT IS PRETTY EASY TO UNDERSTAND AND COMPELLING!
White pointer ring the FAAA office tomorrow , speak to mijatov or smedley.... they will be happy to take your call.
Finally, there will be a very big YES vote , just speak to other crew who have voted.
