My hope, troll doll, is that no one wants anyone to lose their job, no matter how long or short their time in the company.
It upsets me to hear people appear to wish for the demise of Qantas, as though we somehow 'deserve' it. Does anyone honestly want 34,000 people out of work? Will that make you feel better? Everyone in every company just wants to keep their job now.
As for the EBA dizzy lizzy, it is correct, and last on, first off is the policy. As the most recently employed ARE very efficient, there is incentive for the company to AVOID any FA redundancies.
I did have a laugh at the 10 yr old beehive comment! I often have people ask how I deal with 'senior' crew. When I say how long Ive been here, they say, ' oh you still seem so keen and enthusiastic!. '
There are people who have been here a short time who have bad attitudes and those who have been here a long time who also have bad attitudes. The same applies for those who are amazing.
I just hope, despite any sniping, that as many jobs as possible are kept.
