Mr Eden thankyou for your reply #320.. No I am not offended and yes I am always willing to learn from those with superior knowledge/experience.
Mr Guardian said: "The Company knows we are the most expensive"
"What is clear to Qantas is that it can replace its most expensive crew (LH) with much cheaper alternatives."
And that is exactly the basis of my question
Could someone help me understand specifically what aspect of employment makes LH, relative to those who pretend to replace them, so expensive.
Salary Expense? I'm not convinced.
Uniforms? No
Manuals? No
EP? No
Allowances? Maybe
Overtime/duty penalties? No (At least not compared to SH)
Administartive support?. Most probably.
Overnight accommodation/transport? Doubtful
Ms SydneySH you say "God help the LH FAAA at the end of the year."
You maybe correct. It would seem to me that some LH crew are reluctant to help themselves.
