Hello all, another factor hasn't been taken into consideration and that is the demise of Australian and the fate of 312 flight attendants. You are all concerned about your positons as casuals yet we are still unsure where we stand. We are offering 40 places for VR and with no doubt we will get that but where does our future lie? We are secured by our EBA till the end of 2007 but what happens then? We are now being issued with the QF uiniform and luggage and our planes are progressly being repainted into QF colours. We are Qantas, albeit on a different pay scale. We know they cannot make us MAM because MAM is not a QF company but we are able to fly the whole QF network under our award. Scary. Be aware QF crew, this is realty, I dont like it any more than you do but this is the future.
