Cartxchange - I never left AUS to work for less or lesser conditions, i merely took the job to keep me employed whilst i found something else to support my partner and his new (very wel paid
) role.
I have now found that and get paid more than I was in Australia. (Flying and all!).
I agree with you and it was my motivating factor for getting out, the QF group disgusts me, but who is anyone else to point the finger at anyone else but the management for these issues. The SH crew dont deserve to be slandered for signing a contract, QF should be for putting that offer to them.
As for Jetstar.. well
dont even get me started! As far as I am concerned, all aussie crew were my colleagues whether they be link, sh or lh... we all assist the same people along the way to get them to where they need to go, and i respect each person in their role.
