high flying aussie and his mates
high flying aussie and your mates(cartexchange and lurker@r5), you must be kidding!
Pegasus747 you have correctly explained the situation in relation to a pay protected crew member who chooses to work within MBT. Nothing new; it was always allowable, there was and is no prohibition against it and many crew do it for a whole range of reasons. There is no issue and certainly no action will be taken against the FAAA official.
You are correct, high flying aussie, the credibility of the FAAA is of importance and that credibility and the support of the members is intact and rock solid. Unlike you and 2 of your mates who are anti- FAAA and its current leadership and you are are either disgraced former officials who were massacred by the membership, or you are friends of those incompetents; the FAAA and its current leadership enjoys overwhelming support. Even S/H crew constantly ring to see if they can join the L/H FAAA.
To the malcontents who come in here and have got nothing better to do than feign indignation and shock at the unnamed FAAA official, i suggest you do something useful like go to the beach and get a tan.
In relation to the day of protest, the senior leaders of the FAAA who are on the ground (and criticised for that), MM and AS were both there at the protest with about 50 members (a very low turnout and another issue in itself). The fact that the unnamed official who you criticise wasn't there is neither here or there. He is entitled to organise his working life like any other crew member.
What this is really about is that 3 people in here who at the very minimum are friends of the disgraced and incompetent former elected officials of the FAAA are still smarting from being wiped out by the members in 2003 and 2004. That is all that the nonsense that they post in here is ever about.
Additionally, the unamed official that these sad individuals attack, is one of the most competent and talented officials that the FAAA has ever had.
He is absolutely a friend of MM and he continues to have the full support and confidence of MM. And he has that support because he contributes massively to the FAAA and to all crew.
No amount of cowardly anonymous attack in here will alter that. I suggest that those of you should ring the unnamed official at the FAAA. He is here all week. Of course you won't because you are cowards and because he terrifies you and because you know he would very quickly embarrass you. After all, your arguments are crap and without any merit.
I come in here at times to correct the nonsense posted in here by certain people. However, there should not be any confusion, those who post in here are a tiny and mostly unrepresentative group...as shown by those in here who opposed the JFK dispensation. The FAAA will not be diverted by a tiny anti-FAAA element in here. Whenever that element shows its head, it will be confronted directly.
The FAAA and its leadership has much more important things to attend to, like protecting jobs and ensuring L/H crew aren't thrown out onto the streets like the engineers. So whilst always amusing to read things from the critics in here, those critics who are mates of the former officials should not delude themselves. Your nonsense that you post in here will be regarded as nonsense.
Finally, if you wish to resign high flying aussie please do so. When QF takes disciplinary action or some other serious measure against you, don't bother running back to the FAAA.
I hope i have answered with complete clarity on the issues raised by the tiny clique of morons who continually vent their venom on the FAAA.
