It doesnt make any sense to make QCCA crew C.R. as they are the cheapest labour force within Qantas long haul. Do you think the company would do that?
In domestic I totally agree make crew C.R. then offer their jobs back but under the "new entity" arrangement. MAM's will be safe as the FAAA will say they are needed for FWA.
I agree with you though I bet any money C.R. than massive recruitment. Of course our FAAA will be in contact 2 weeks after the announcement with an action plan as they are always on the ball when it comes to the big issues like this NOT!!
