I find it really odd that both shorthaul and longhaul are offering voluntary redundancies, leave without pay, part time etc yet the company is saying they will be hiring new full time shorthaul crew in Feb
Does the shorthaul union have nothing to say about this?
The shorthaul union were really dumb to not include QD in their EBA - at least the Longahul union got the QCCA agreement as part of the QAL Longhaul EBA- so the two have to be negotiated together
I dont know about shorthaul roster rules, but the QCCA crew definately only get their flying after the longhaul bid run- trust me I went from nothing but Joburgs to londons, frankfurts, san frans, and even a honolulu on my roster thanks to the QCCA newbies.
I hope the QD crew will bolster the junior shorthaul crew's rosters !
