Wake up call for FAAA
Darth has written a letter to all mainline QF tech crew telling them of the need to cut costs. This has happened after only one week since the J* tech crew agreed to the new EBA/pay deal for J* international.
Observers thought that it would be months before Darth hit the techies but he basically could not wait.
If you are wondering about some of the pay scales ,it is amazing .Basically a L/H CSM with allowances added will be earning the same as a F/O and a cruise F/O will only be getting around $45000 a year.Compare this to what current QF tech crew get and you will understand the impact this is going to have.
So with this win what do you think they will want to pay cabin crew?
This will have a flow on effect to just about everyone else employed by QF.Darth will be asking why he has to pay cabin crew their current wages when he only has to pay a cruise F/O $ 45000 per year and that is with no overtime and a number of other things that current tech crew get gratis.
Does the L/H faaa think that perhaps now would be a good time to hold meetings or are we going to wait until Darth calls the girls into his office with an offer they can’t refuse?
Wake up girls this is getting serious………
