Cmon guys
This is a great opportunity for some crew in Qantas in a time where other airlines are retrenching cabin crew. Everyone was asked to apply for the fixed term if they desired- it wasn't compulsary. It was always stated on both the Company's Q and A's and the FAAA letters that positions would be chosen based on "operational requirements". There are no surprises. Why pay staff to sit at home in Cairns....of course they have given them a slot. It is also why only two or three Perth Based crew got it, as they are under staffed over there. If you were running a company wouldn't you do the same? Personally these measures that QF are taking to keep us all employed are fine by me....having seen other airlines that left it all a bit too late. Congratulations to all who got it. Go over and enjoy the two years....and do Short Haul proud. Good on you.
