What I don't get in all this Equity bit is why the TOP 36 EXEC'S get special mention /treatment , then can potentially make a motza after we are refloated in 5 years or so ???
What have this ramshackle gaggle done to contribute to the success of the Rat ?
Only last week we had 2 TOP EXEC'S ( yeah right !! ) on board going up to HKG.
They both sat in their seats in P/C like zombies. Made no eye contact with the crew, did not speak to the crew and when the CSM had the audacity to ENGAGE on e of them as he exited the Loo , his reply was:
"I do not want to talk about it ( the Equity buy out ) on board.
WHY THE HELL NOT ???? YOU ARE PROBABLY GOING TO PAY OFF MORE THAN YOUR MORTGAGE AFTER THIS ........YOU CLOWN !!!
Thats what really sticks in my craw in this and other assorted "changes" that we've been subjected to over the years.
"You the worker do your menial tasks ( serve tea /coffee and clean toilets ) and leave the big issues to us" ( Management) !!!!!
Well , we've got news for you. The vast majority of organisations with "engaged" profitable workforces ( eg HP, Bendigo Bank, Cisco) all have flat management structures that are INCLUSIVE of the worker NOT "divide & conquer" based on some feudal system in the 18th Century.
The classic recent example is ( dare I bore you all ) the IFE.
We told "management" at least 18 months ago that it is just not good enough to load up 300/400 pax on an AC for 14 hours after they have paid for the IFE only for it to lurch and whine and collapse leaving the mess to us to clean up.( This is in breach of Trade Practices legislation)
"Oh no , we'll just put in a new patch" said management.
............FOR F--KS SAKE !!!!
These are the same people who are part of the "gang of 36".
Go figure.?
Rant over.
Time to put $50 each way on the 5th at Rosehill
As for the FAAA, haven't heard much from them on this BIG issue.
oh./............ but the cart tops are fixed
