Darth Dixon is probably upset at the announcement that BHP has just made the biggest profit for an Australian business on record…He is thinking about how big a bonus his opposite No. at BHP is getting compared to him, with any luck maybe Darth will leave and go to BHP.
The bonus system that the corporate world works on is like viagra to them and Darth will be walking around like a sailor in patpong Rd thinking about how big his bonus would be if QF made that sort of profit.
Notice how Pegasus did not comment on my suggestion of hiring a professional to run our union instead of a few amateurs or that he dismissed a cap system on our rosters, the tech crew have made it work ,why not us.
Funny how anyone who has a point that differs from the faaa is suffering from substance abuse or is hysterical (read Edens post).
I can understand the argument about not restricting short trips because of family commitments but how about a cap on long flights like LA’s ,JFK’s,SFO’s,LHR’s etc…or the shorter NRT trips ,I think the argument that I have to do back to back NRT's because I have a child at home wears a little thin
I think it is fair enough that senior crew are recognized and get trips like the new SFO’s but not to the point where some are doing 4 in a row.
The SFO trips will be like the Paris trips and after 6 months or so the senior crew will get bored doing back to back but I still think there is something wrong with crew doing them back to back for a roster or two or three.
Surely we can do something about limiting long haul flights or trips, how about a limit of 2 long haul flights per roster and a limit of 4 shorter trips such as 3 or 4 day NRT’s …We could leave trips across the pond and day trips if that helps crew with family commitments as I don’t think there are too many crew who want to do those and miss out….
Just a few thoughts …any comments????
Interesting times ahead……...
