In fairness to those who post on here though, they wouldnt be aware that the bureacracy at qantas is quite incredible and the number of hands something must go throught to reach a decision is quite mind boggling.
Rarely is any notice given by qantas to flight attendants or the FAAA about anything. I dont think that's because of design merely because of utter and complete incompetence.
The decision making power is held so high that John Borghetti has to sign off a duty travel ticket for a manager to fly to melbourne for a meeting.
Ridiculous i hear you say...but quite true!!!
so when a decision like the 75 percent roster comes through on a weekend we should not blame the manager that tried to implement it ASAP.
Whoever was responsible for putting it out this weekend rather than waiting a bid period is probably as frustrated by the level of bureacracy he has to deal with as we are for being on the receiving end of it
