If you are that concerned about the conditions and it is that taxing on your life, then find a new job. It is as simple as that. I don't want to hear about it anymore, and I don't think the guests in the last few rows near the rear galleys want to either.
The option you have is to Not Listen
its your choice.
The discussion on this forum regarding the EBA is about everyone here trying to get a better understanding of the information presented to us at the forums, the information recieved from the FAAA and our Delegates, and the information recieved from different levels of Management over the course of time. People are entitled to opinions - its a part of life - as you are yours. A lot of us here have been in the CC department for a long time and seen major changes take place during that time. Its about protecting what conditions we do have, or bargaining things we are happy to give up to achieve something we did not have before.
Its not about whinging, moaning, saying how much we hate our jobs etc. I have said time and again how much I love my job (and I truly truly mean it), and how I want to be able to continue to say that. If we just sat back and did not give any input or have any discussion whatsoever, then things would never get changed. As far as JQ, QF, QQ, ZL etc go - we are *not* other airlines, and its quite defeatest to say "well xxx airline does not even do xxx activity so we should be grateful". We are a different operation to any airline in this country, so direct comparisons cant really be made.
Keep the discussion coming folks, I have copies of some of the trips that were proposed back in August last year when those folders came out - including one 7 day gem that had 4 red eyes in a row (BNE-DRW-BNE) with 13 hours rest each DAY (not night - its all DAY rest).
For those who don't like the comments being put forth here, I suggest you don't read it
