Hi Sonique,

Just read your post. I had no idea that there was any bitchiness and competition amongst the ranks of the VB FA's. Is this because they have suddenly taken on alot of experienced FA's from Kendell's Hazo's Flight West and Ansett and this may be causing a bit of friction? (Loads of experience suddently appearing amongst a very inexperienced crew) or is it just a culture that has developed amongst (largely) very young crew? I know they are away from home a heck of a lot. 10 - 15 overnights per month is what I have been told!!! I would be pretty grotchity too if that was the case!! You can expect staff to burn out pretty quickly with those conditions - or is that what management are wanting? Their EBA must be up for negotiation soon - I hope they manage to change that one!

Chat soon, happy flying
