Hawkeye
With all the huge and complex issues confronting us, including:-
- Workchoices and its effects on cabin crew
- Qantas' determination to restructure its operations to achieve a lower cost structure and what this means for its most expensive cabin crew ( namely L/H)
- the need to restructure and re-integrate both divisions of the FAAA
-the need to produce a more attractive L/H to prevent forced redundancies
- a possible review of amendments to the bid system to forestall forced changes by the Company
and a whole host of other pressing and complicated issues, some in here like Hawkeye and cartexchange can only continue to babble about a FAAA official who worked( as he is entitled to do) on a day in order to offset pay protection!
The suggestion that "crew are reeling in shock" about this non-event is laughable. Talk about getting comic relief from some clowns who post in here.
NOT 1 PERSON HAS CONTACTED THE FAAA ABOUT THIS BEAT UP, SUCH IS THE "REELING IN SHOCK".
What is noteworthy is that Hawkeye who apparently is so shocked about this , has not contacted the FAAA either. The level of vaudeville and hypocrisy knows no bounds by those in here pretending they are not previous officials or friends of those incompetents.
The good part is that the FAAA is in the hands of very competent and experienced officials, who contiinue to fulfill all their promises to crew and who continue to protect crew from a fate that the engineers are about to experience.
Thankfully, the few fellow travellors of the former officials in here, aren't and will never be in a position to implement their zany suggestions.
The industrial policy and strategy of the FAAA is in good hands, and i suggest the malcontents in here who only represent themselves and nobody else stick to commenting about matters they understand, rather than continually making fools of themselves.
Maybe some of you should run for election next time around, i'm sure MM, AS and SR would have fun carving you up like thanksgiving turkeys.
You could run on a platform of saying no to flying because of concocted OH&S concerns and have flying further transferred to other Qantas Group cabin crew, you could promise that no one will be allowed to go into open time if it conflicts with MBT, you could say NO to QF on a whole range of issues and have the Company use the new laws against L/H crew.
What a wonderful platform that would be...... and if you were hypothetically successful.... L/H crew would all lose their jobs.
So I suggest you do run next time around in the FAAA elections and see how you fare with the mainstream of cabin crew who would laugh at you and your impractical and ridiculous statements and ideas.
