When I flew to LA recently on a Qantas A380 the service was great but imagine my surprise when I found out that the cabin crew that we're serving us actually work for Jet Connect and are based in Auckland. How is that allowed? Have management found a loophole that allows them to use foreign based labour on their flagship mainline routes, denying more Australians of jobs with the "National " Airline. What's next, Jetstar Asia hosties doing the Sydney / Dallas route?
The pilots didn't have it quite right with their Qantas pilots on Qantas aircraft. It should have been Qantas staff on Qantas aircraft, encompassing all crew.
Would really like someone to explain this one as I thought Jetconnect only operated across the Tasman, although admittedly it wasn't announced as a Jitconnect flight to LA
