Mate
1 You say we are paid between 30 and 60 % more than other QF crew and then you say you are not saying we are overpaid...mate think about that for a second...the company sees your post and then tells you that l/h are overpaid and whats more you agree with them...if you see a beer for 30 - 60 % more than another you are saying the expensive beer is overpriced....If you walk into a holden dealer and say the same car is 30% less in a rockdale dealership you are saying it is 30% overpriced...You don't get it do you mate ....and you are representing us...
You don't walk into the room with the company and say..ok we are paid more compared to others...you have given the game away before they have even scored their first try.mate what can you say to argue your point after that.
2 I don't care or need you mate to tell me who you are.I know
3 Mate i didn't post the bit about the pilots but if you want to mention it AIPA is taking the company to court saying that the operation of Jetstar international is against the qantas act .This protects the pilots jobs..they are doing something about their members conditions not saying..welll we are more expensive than others...damn we have to give in...
4 Pal...You asked for my suggestion and here it is ...be more agressive just as you promised at the St George Rowers club...where has that venom gone?
Don't say in a public forum that we all know the company looks at and say WE ARE PAID MORE THAN OTHER CREW IN THE GROUP FOR THE SAME JOB
If you give a dispensation for something like the jfk shuttle get a tradeoff..IN WRITING not some airy fairy vague we are doing something to be more flexible crap to protect our jobs
attack is the best form of defence not to bend over and say be gentle
tell them that os crew do not have our cost of living and if management want to live on Thai pay in sydney they can.
You like being on the radiio and other interviews so tell them about things like the immoral bonus's that GD and others give themselves.Put the pressure on them mate .make them answer questions for once.
Don't stand up at the meeting and say if I have not scared you today I'm not doing my job...that was bs ..mate your job is not to scare crew but represent us
