have you ever heard of an airline......
people are not winging about MAM or QF on here because its a Jetstar thread!
The pay is not bad.. for what we do, in terms of service, its good.
the job itself is very easy.. its just exhausting and slightly demoralising.
The crew and their friendliness and 'family atmosphere' are prob some of the best in the industry... but management are pathetic.
this pay is definatley liveable. i couldnt imagine working in a crappy 9-5 job, or ground shiftworking job working more hours for the same pay and no benefits.
Like everyone else has said though, you have to love the job to be able to do this for a career. i dont know why, esp when i look at the ridiculous things that the company come up with.. ('haveyoueverheardofanairline.....?')
but i do love my job and the people i work with and i must just be a glutton for punnishment, because the **** just kind of bounces off me, and the crap we deal with kind of motivates me to keep going
(dont worry.. i will be seeking therapy as soon as i can get in to the EAP)
i think it will soon be a different story though for newer recruits... when they begin to start reducing the 'benefits' and/or start bringing them in on a different award.
MrSeatback2 - do you think this will happen eventually? How can it not?
and when is the next part time intake.... someone told me that there would be another one in 6 months!!
