roamingwolf's comments
the figues quoted by Guardian are correct.... and any material that Guardian posts here is completely correct, because he/she knows what he/she is talking about.
That fact that Guardian knows what he/she is sayting appears to annoy individuals on here..... and the usual predictable response by those anti-union elements in here who continually bag the FAAA , who have little knowledge about anything...is to then tag Guardian as "arrogant" for example.
roamingwolf you really are pretty slow aren't you mate?? Unfortunately, there is no other way to put it. The FAAA or i haven't said we are overpaid in L/H. As my more diplomatic, posting friend Pegasus stated , the FAAA is pointing out why LH will be eliminated by the Company if a reality check doesn't occur, particualarly with individuals like you roamingwolf.
Qantas is not interested whether the FAAA believes L/H crew are "overpaid" or not....that is irrelevant..... Qantas knows that LH are the most expensive by far, that's why 1200 people have been VR'ed in LH since 2001.
Furthemore roamingwolf, whilst i realise you are fairly limited in your capacity, try at least to not misrepresent what i said. I never said we are overpaid.... i said that Qantas knows we are the most expensive. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE AND I KNOW MOST PEOPLE CAN UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE, EXCEPT YOU OBVIOUSLY.
Lowerlobe, you again start with your anti FAAA mantra. Mate, you would not have any idea about the issues that AIPA is raising in conjunction with Jetstar. You also obviously do not know that AIPA failed in a similar manouvre in the Federal Court last year . What you also do not know is what is happenning privately behing the scenes with the FAAA and AIPA and of course this won't be disclosed publicly because it would be harmful to the interests of crew.
Also, remember for example that the pilots negotiating position has led to their allowances being lower than cabin crew. So please refrain from making comments about which is the more effective union, because you simply haven't got a clue.
In summary, roamingwolf and lowerlobe should concentrate on doing cart exchanges rather than criticising actions of others including the FAAA , when they have no clue.
