Making the MAM's permanent in short haul is considered external recruitment as far as the career progression for Eastern, Sunstate and Jetsar goes. It has already happened once (i think at least) about 18 months ago.
MAM don't have a transfer or career progression agreement its just about QF picking who they want, making them permanent and sending them to Perth, well at least thats what happened last time.
Apparentely the attitude is that if QF want full time staff it will be MAM f/a's to get the job because their already security checked, trained, working on the a/c ect. It just paperwork to add them to the full time numbers.
bla_bla
the only thing about career progression in the EAA, SS, JQ EBA's is that the airlines are committed to it. The real details, salary transfer, numbers to go etc is in the actual career progression agreements.
