call button
Call button if the novelty wears off for the "B scalers" and they aren't too happy with their conditions it might be worth explaining to them they wouldnt be having this discussion if we did not agree to a "b scale" which gave them full time employment with Qantas.
You might explain the facts.If they wanted to be a QF flight attendant
they would be working in NZ on less money, and NO conditions. In fact they might even bump into a few of those very same crew who manage to apply to the B Scale and have full time employment with Charlie Q.
Once they get the job they might join the FAAA and start working towards improving their conditions like we had to, except they will have our support.
Alternatively we can all vote NO and we wont have a problem with a B scale.
We wont get sacked, or put on contracts or forcibly made redundant due to Mr RudD.
Of course we wont get the A380, we wont get the 787, why would we when regional will continue to go to the domestics who have a better regional formula than us and CCA will be open for application to operate the 787 and A380 on Jstar wages.
its about time some of us got real and woke up.
You asked for seniority . You got it! We asked for no extra hours we got it!. is it a good deal, Not really. is it the best under the circumstances with the SHaul FAAA awaiting an opportunity to secure extra flying, yes.
It is a shame both divisions of the FAAA are not united and ultimately this is what has now caused the slippery slope to the bottom. Lets hope this EBA secures our future once and for all!
