Your LHR based aren't you? flying about 5 years? and ex s/h?

When you have been flying about 6 times that and experienced what it was like before

we took over s/h
AO started
J*started

I reckon you might understand what we are talking about.We are trying to think of ways to stop the situation in OZ becoming like Europe and the UK.

I don't know if you are married or have children but if you did then you would understand what we are trying to stop happening.Not all of us can drop everything and go of to Europe and live on bugger all.

If you wanted to accept low pay and work over there for QFUK without super as well then thats your decision but we are trying to stop that from happening here.

There is no one forcing you to read this thread so you can stick to the QFUK thread and not be disgusted.as a matter of fact a lot of us in L/H were disgusted by the crew who accepted low pay with no super and took our flying.Just as you would be by anyone who accepted lower pay than you and did your job

by the way the other airlines you talked about with bad sick pay etc...mam's get NO sick pay or holiday pay.I don't know what you are saying about getting paid for holiday and sick pay up front.

As was said before what happens if your a mam and have holidays (no pay) and then you have a fall and break and arm or something and you are off for 3 months ( no pay) that means you get no pay for 4 months.

How can you pay a mortgage and support yourself let alone a family.

This started with an idea i had of trying to stop or slow down the company hiring casuals and the people having a shot at me are either s/h,mams or probably company .

As someone else said how do you go to a bank and get a loan for a car let alone a house if you can't tell them you will have a job in a few years time.

Now if you are defending that sort of situation with casuals then there is a job for you in QF management
