It is very unusual for us to work like we have been lately. A combination of rapid expansion and lots of sick days (thanks to winter!) is the reason. The usual max sectors is 4 for us (some have done 6 but it isnt the norm). The block I have just done was a lot of very long sectors and one or two 2 hour turn arounds thorwn in. It isn't illegal, and unless you have the EBA in front of you it, isnt really your place to comment. A couple of dispensations were sought for a lot of us to extend duties though, to my knowledge nothing 'illegal' was worked. And by dispensation I mean financial rewards and extra days off so I will not be whining next pay!

Welcome. I don't know about numbers though apparently we are getting even more aircraft, though this hasn't been confirmed by anyone important! I don't know what the QF interview process is like first hand and when I started at Impulse it was VERY different to what is in place now. I have a general idea through chatting with some newer FAs and also talking to recruiters. So I will attempt to email you soon. OK as far as management goes and great colleagues! I almost always have a great time at work! The money is cool and rewards for working hard are in line with industry standards (some exceed!). Single aircraft endoresment and the very basic product QF have us serving make the money seem even better (in my opinion.). The aircraft are new, passengers generally OK (though I don't like MCY flights!) and you aren't really in danger of chipping a nail under normal circumstances!
