I have to agree with Sydney S/H here. Ive been reading this thread for a bit now and I cant believe the way some people carry on. At Qantas the short haul division is a group of flight attendants on different contracts.
They learn basically the same aircraft and operate similar sectors. There are reasons beyond the money saving that the jobs are being allocated elsewhere and its because LH Aussie crew are a bunch of lazy overpaid whingers.
Yerp I will agree LH is totally different to SH, at least with long haul when 7 hours have passed you're still on your first sector deteriorating with the pax and not having to brush your teeth again for the next lot of demanding travel royalty.
Ive done both sorts of flying and I know which one was harder and it certainly wasnt the one where i got a cheese platter during my briefing or a secluded rest area onboard.....
