Guys & Girls,
As for the employment of casuals, be afraid, as it is already happening.
Recruitment and training of casuals has taken place in SYD for "relief crew". Before you say, but we already have relief crew, this is different. These crew are not employed by Virgin Blue, nor do they work for
VB on a daily basis (i.e. contracted in a regional port). Yes these guys are Aerocare, but they do not have any experience with
VB nor do they work in a ground staff role for
VB. They are just on call for sickness and disruptions.... I smell the big red rat! I think that is what we are all afraid of!
