Maybe instead of posting under the cover of an anom username on this forum you should post this on the crew website for all to see.
Before crew spend $600+ a year on membership maybe the LH FAAA can also advise us of their intentions & what they can offer VA crew. This is the most Qantas centric union there is, whose main membership base (and therefore revenue stream) are QF long haul (QAL/QCCA) crew. Even if all our crew joined we'd still be under 10% of their total membership so I wonder how much time they'd be able to dedicate to our cause.
Can you also confrim this is an official handover from the short haul FAAA?
Perhaps as a start the FAAA could organise some meetings in SYD/BNE/MEL for the VA crew to talk to them openly about how we'd like to move forward (without ending up like the disengaged, management hating crew the majority of their membership seem to be) and after then some of us may feel more comfortable to join.
