Ha ! I love it. Put a chux on the cart. They are all so obsessed with putting a stupid wet chux on the collection cart, but can't even wear or button up their jackets when walking through the terminal, do their hair properly, follow service procedures (i.e - attaching the plastic cup under the ring of softdrink when handing to a pax ) or smile at the boarding gate. But don't forget the useless wet chux !! Seriously though, they are not that bad...but there are some Chux nazi's who I just laugh at.
Anyway, not expecting miracles. But.... When the PER L/H base closed crew were offered transfers and other oppurtunities ahead of others on waitlists. Stranger things have happened, and when something is happening to your base that is not favourable then I believe the crew in that base deserve to be ahead of the rest on waitlists when seeking alternative positions.
LONG HAUL, LONG HAUL, LONG HAUL ! Just give us 30 slots for those that want to go ! That will reduce the numbers !
