I dont know how this will effect MAM casuals, however the following information was received by short haul cabin crew from the FAAA on 4 August, 2006 and applies to permanent cabin crew:
SHORT HAUL CABIN CREW SURPLUS
On Wednesday 2nd August an urgent meeting was held with Qantas to discuss their stated surplus
At the conclusion of the meeting it was agreed that a notice would be issued to crew on a range of initiatives. These include:
· Temporary Part time in 6 month blocks
· Leave without pay in 6 month blocks
· Additional annual leave and long service leave opportunities
· A limited voluntary redundancy program
The Association is yet to finalise details on the various initiatives. Once details are available they will be issued accordingly.
