The QFUK operation clearly has degenerated into a "Keystone Cops" kind of farce.
Comments from a Y/C passenger and friend of mine recently on the service between BKK and LHR was, " less than ordinary".
Another relayed to a friend on mine, "a complete farce".
It seems that CSS's are operating out of the LHR base as CSMs because of a shortage. These individuals even more inexperienced than the incumbents.
Anyone else heard the rumour going round about the LHR base "visitor" occupying the OHCCR facility contrary to CASA requirments that only those EP trained in it's secondary escape hatch, do so??
Hard to believe I know but given the circus we have become perhaps its true.
Reports and photo's indicate bags and bags of free booze, amenity kits and other giveaways handed out the those passengers asked to fill out surveys on the QFUK sectors............
This info from passengers returning to the aircraft after transit stops in BKK with photos taken by the joining crew.
I had to laugh at the story of a visitor visiting the A/C ex SYD to observe the pre flight operation.
He suggested that the biggest problem QF fear is that the different bases by and large all hate each other.
Divide and conquer eh Geoff??
You Prique.

oz-kipper,
any truth to the rumour that the THAIS are left to complete the whole Y/C breakfast service on their own as the CSS makes tea and coffee and the LHR based crew ALL assist J/C and P/C?
No???
Thats not what I heard.
The Thais almost sigh with relief when working with the SYD base.
What have your lot done to them???
