Pegasus ,

I don’t think that Steven’s interview should have gone boots and all into QF but the interview sounded as though it was with Kevin Brown rather than Steve. You said that “The reliability issues are well known” but that did not come out of the interview at all.

The company does not miss a chance to have a dig at us but all you can say is we have to be balanced and have credibility.The problem is that the situation is anything but balanced.

The company continue to have a shot at us with the allowances in Frankfurt and now this ridiculous situation of advertising something with little more than 24 hours notice.

There will be large numbers of crew getting home in the next week and basically saying WTF when they find out about this.They will look at the FAAA website and what do they find ..a newsletter telling us that ….“In our effort to investigate alternatives to provide flexibility for Long Haul Cabin Crew, the Association has agreed in principle with the Company to trial a 75% roster in BP250 for Sydney based Flight Attendants, Business First FA and CSS.”

That sounds like the union is working with the company and giving it’s members very little if any chance of taking advantage of it.

Your last post sounds just like the radio interview with Steve…you are just covering up for the company again…whose side are you on?

The last thing you should do though Pegasus is to try to deflect attention and distract crew away from this absurdity by having another shot at the S/H union and starting another bun fight.

Little wonder that we hold little hope of ever amalgamating the 2 unions with your example of leadership
