RW don’t waste your breath with twiggsy as she is nothing more than a company plant. She attempts to pass herself off as crew but as you pointed out:
Never criticises the company and always takes their side in an argument
Only posts when someone is harsh or unhappy with the company and openly criticises them for doing so
Never comments on any topical subject such as the takeover mainly because she can’t.
She is only here to distract and discredit anyone who opposes the company and since the company endorsed the takeover she was hardly in a position to talk about it.
When stretched for a comment comes up with classics that George Bush would be proud of.
A prime example of her thoughts is the well known “I think everyone has lost sight of what this job is about, and it aint money.It's about the destinations”……
Ohh yes…..nice one twiggsy..So we can live on air and use it to pay our bills and mortgages. We really don’t need money just the glamour of flying around the world.
However she really blew it when she commented on a delayed flight out of Mel for Nrt.A comment about it was made by a S/H CSM and it was this
“The flight was delayed out of Melbourne to Narita a few weeks ago - an A330-300.
The LH crew weren't going to achieve their required rest break (just short) in NRT.
They try and negotiate with the LH crew. They say nope.
Phone calls are made to SH crew on home reserve. Paxed up to NRT, day rest and bring back the aircraft. 2 things here -
1. you have to be flexible sometimes to help yourselves in the long term
2. Before you bag the SH crew - The SH crew had no choice.”
Then Twiggsy put her foot in it by saying…
”In the delay in question, one option presented to the crew was to take minimum rest in Narita and get home as scheduled, and the duty was to be treated as a continuous one (lots of overtime), from sign on in MEL till sign off in SYD.
It was only an option given, not a request, and was probably declined as the crew in question did not consider that amount of rest to warrant the extra money or the fact that they would probably get home a day late.
The S/H crew that were called out, paxed to NRT had 12 hrs off and operated back to SYD, slightly easier than if the L/H crew had operated a delayed service, had less than 12 hrs off, and then operated back to SYD.”
Now,Twiggsy is supposed to be a L/H F/A based in Australia.
How then did she know?
1:That there was a delay. In fact she refers to the issue as “In the delay in question” as if she has first hand knowledge of it.
2:What was offered to the L/H crew and that it was an offer not a request.
3:That it was declined.
4:A probable reason for that refusal.
5:That S/H were called out.
6:What the pattern for the S/H crew was.
When you read her post it sounds as though you are listening to someone in the office giving a briefing of the delay for the committee who deals with aircraft delays.
When asked for an explanation of her knowledge of the minute details of the delay she prevaricated for more than 2 months before finally telling us that she found out about it by knowing where to read.
Where exctly is that Twiggsy?
Now with the company giving minimal notice of promotional prospects after years of waiting twiggsy tells us that we should be in constant and daily contact with the company at all times even when on holidays.
With the basic purpose of holidays being to get away from the work enviroment Twiggs and the rest of the office tells us that we still need to keep in touch.
RW is right perhaps the company should give us all satellite phones so that they can call us at every opportunity
