Butterfield, you are pathetic.
The answer is simple. The Company sends out a survey of all Longhaul crew.
It identifies key areas of what everybody desires from an allocation system of work.
It selects a committee with FAAA involvement and perhaps professional work allocation system designers and they determine a new allocated work system. It may be they create one or more models. The model or models are then put to the Long haul cabin crew to vote upon.
What would change is one small group no longer get everything and the rest get nothing or very average. What is eradicated is 1980s discrimination and selfishness.
Pegasus you are correct there is no perfect work allocation system that will suit everybody. To believe so is unrealistic. Continuing to accept this current discriminatory system is also unrealistic, and almost hypocritical from a union stand point to allow it to continue existing. Its almost putting your head in the sand stuff as it is all too hard. Your not one of our union officials are you? It is hard and it needs to be fixed.NOW!
