You talk utter B@##$@&T.
Kiwi crew have never complained about rooms because of seniority.
They have been upset over work allocation positions because of the removal of the seniority system and the fact that QCCA regardless of start date are more senior in this respect as well. Again unfair.
QCCA like Jetconnect is not QF, but a wholly owned subsidury and therefor should fall into line behind the kiwis...plain and simple.
Again when the company wanted to pre allocate work positions for all QCCA/AKL and BKK crew this rang alarm bells in the FAAA bunker as this would also affect QFA crew as previously stated. Could you imagine if a QCCA and AKL crew member was allocated LP1 and R1P. Shock horror, what would Phyliss and Beth do who always worked those positions. They effectivly didn't have a say in their work positions either. This is why the FAAA took it up with the company. Now it has been changed to random after the QFA's have selected their positions, all is sweet now. That chapter is closed now they have the outcome they desired and to hell with everyone else.
But thinking about this what would you new guys and girls do if at the next eba the company said they wanted a 'C' pay which is lower than what 'B' pay is?
the trickis that the company tells you that if you don't go along with the deal they will start up bases all over the place and you guys will end up loosing a lot of your flying.
Hmmm good question.
What would the builders union, train drivers union, teachers union etc do if the Govt said they were bringing in O/S workers on lower pay and conditions and or starting offshore workers to work along side them on different conditions? Not bend over and take it, thats for sure. You can bet your bottom dollar they would fight it till the last man and woman. It's called having balls and fighting the fair fight for what is right. Get it?
