12 months ago, every flight attendant in the company saw LH as a dying entity. Most of us expected LH and SH to be merged together, and fly under the SH award.
The introduction of QCCA saved the LH division, because basically it meant the international flying could be done cheaper than it could be under the shorthaul award. The company only cares about reducing the cost base, plain and simple.
So, in the end LH got back most of the international flying, but the introduction of QCCA has come as an enormous cost to the flight attendant group. I guess in a few years time LH crew can ask themselves - Was it worth it? Maybe some already know the answer to this question!!
The question I would like an answer to is this;
Who's idea was it to start up QCCA? Did the company simply put it on the table and say 'take it or leave it'. Or was the whole thing introduced by the LH FAAA as the last desperate measure to save the entire division?
