QF LH CC going to the A380??

Just wondering if any of you are considering the move?

More work for less pay with only two [three?] destinations?

I've done a "for" and "against" list.

Does anyone else have any thoughts..........?

----------------------

For-

1. Interesting new aircraft with associated professional challenges.

2. Long slips initially until aircraft numbers increase.

3. You can come back.

Against-

1. More hours.

2. Less pay.

3. No long range allowance [top up pay may make up for this but who would know? ]

4. Boredom/groundhog day developing quickly with just two destinations.

5. "Clicky" nature developing amongst the crew due to the group's small number [think Melbourne]

6. Large proportion of FA's will be new AND generation Y.

7. Being under the spotlight from CC management.

8. Potential that all on board managers will be both new and dangerously "enthusiastic". The type who are out there now changing the world by creating friction, tension and disharmony upline.

9. Whacko jacko aka the terminator aka the kiwi sociopath is personally involved.

10 Buenos Aires is just the first "new" destination to be freed up by the dugong. What'll be next? Paris, Rome, Dubai? The 744s are going to go somewhere??
