QCC2,
To be honest i have been trying to think of a reason why they would offer this return to LH from SH. Perhaps the only reason would be that in the Short Haul EBA claim i was told that they were trying to get bands pay reinstated to the LH crew that came over.
Clearly if the Agreement reached on Friday is all thats in it, then they were unsuccessful in getting bands pay restores to Ex long Haul crew.
This may be a way of at least trying to offer something to those ex LH crew. That's all very well of course QCC, but a couple of things that stink about that and one of the reasons the short haul officials are such snakes is that they didnt discuss it with LH FAAA ( a rang a senior official as soon as i saw it on friday) at all. Secondly Qantas had not raised it with the FAAA.
As far as ex csms and Css's coming back to Long Haul as CSM's and CSS's or even all the ex long haul coming back it doesnt make sense to me. Firstly i thought we had an excess in long Haul and transferrin a whole lot of crew back would increase that.
Secondly, there is no agreement that would give them their rank back and i am not sure that we want to set that prescedent. Of course there are a whole lot of ex pursers that came to Long HAul years ago. wouldnt it be lovely if they could all go back to SHort HAul as CSM's?????/
I am sure Kylie hasnt thought of that one and if thats the case we should welcome our colleagues back with open arms from Short Haul and send back al the ex pursers back to short haul as CSM's
I just love the thought of the chaos at short haul that would cause !!
I am bad
