Woo-hoo, it's better than Jetstar - big deal. It's like comparing STD's.
If you show me a few FA's who are "desperate"to come back, I'll show you dozens who are desperate to leave (and are leaving in large numbers).
I have stated the facts so that I don't have to see more disillusioned, lied-to FA's when I go to work. It's not glamourous, the work is bloody hard, and the rewards are almost insulting.
I have seen several FA's almost in tears from anger and frustration as their shift goes from being 7 hours to 12 hours. I spoke to someone who did a 16+! hour duty the other day (union approved, but thats another story
). Try organising things such as doctors, dentists, hair, picking up kids, etc, etc.
As for where else to go, that's up to you. I'm not saying don't come to EAA, I'm saying if you do, don't whinge when it is as I've stated.
