Here is an idea to spice up the cabin crew thread.......

If we are looking at ideas to appeal to Darth as well as Basil Bow Tie how about this one...

We all want to secure our jobs whilst not doing slave labour rates and some here are telling us to give in to the dark side to achieve this as J* and others are cheaper (or so they tell us).

Instead of giving away the family house etc...why don't we do what some other sections do and have a "A" pay scale and a "B" pay scale...

So for those that are upset about seniority and not getting anywhere because QF is not hiring anymore L/H crew then if any new crew are hired they would be on a "B" pay scale similar to J* and others.This way if Darth is going to hire new crew and set up cheap alternative carriers and at the same time leaving QF to wither away he can do the same but it is called QF still...

S/H techies had 2 pay scales and I've heard other areas do as well.If this worked then they would be hiring again and junior crew would see some progression through the ranks....

Even if this just promotes discussion it's worth it because we have to do something instead of just sitting around waiting for the current EBA to end......I'll just put on the body armour with a crash helmet and wait.....
