Re: Qantas Seniority Joke
So the focus finally settles where it should be...on QF entry date. Where on earth did this cadets having "two years seniority on everyone else" rubbish come from?
Till 04 cadets were generally taken up just months or even weeks after graduation. Then with the intro of the two years regional airline experience initiative they were directed to where they would get solid hands on experience as FOs albeit on <$40K pa and having spent up to $100K on training (see earlier posts).
Havent heard of a single person (including cadets despite the huge loss of anticipated income for those two years) who didnt think this was the right move in terms of the end product. That these guys were sent without choice to regional Australia (and OS even though not within the original guidelines) should make no difference to seniority whatseover. They would otherwise have had the same priority dates that they have now.
