reality
Missleadfoot,
thanks for being brave enough to say your piece on this thread, considering some of the people that post here seem to not be living in the real world.
You, like Jetstar crew, our LHR base, BKK base, AKL base, even S/h, all applied fror a job to go flying, not to undermine QF longhaul conditions, and don't deserve the anger that is directed to them by some amidst our ranks.
The reality is, Qantas will use whoever they have available on a route that is cheapest, and we at LH QF will lose those routes unless we realise that eventually we will have to compromise our conditions, sad as it may seem.
The union have been trying to say this but keep getting criticised on here by angry people who just want to focus their energy at the people who just work for a cheaper incarnation of QF because they want to fly.
If QCC2 and/or his/her cronies have any valid answers to our predicament, they should be formally presenting them to the union, not directing childish name calling at our colleagues within the QF group, especially the union delegates.
