oz.
read my post.......
everyone has a role to play....
the majority of techhies are good guys...
Im directing it at the self important ones........actually I find it disturbing some of the attitude,
I feel sorry for the pilots that have to sit on the flight deck for hours with these idiots, thankfully they are the minority.
PS .... remember that they ended up getting the pilots! not a problem there......

The word upline suggests that a particular second officer entered the crew room way more than, " three sheets to the wind".
He seems to have taken offence to the point of a punch being thrown at being asked to tone down his language and behavior given that mixed company was present.

Here we go..
It is these type of responses(last 2) that are indicative of the mentality that causes these little punchups."Hostitute"haven`t heard that one for about 10 years.
Perhaps they should raise the drinking age to about 50.Wiser men(hopefully)with less testosterone(bravado)

I think one of the problems is the underlying resentment cabin crew has towards Qantas and the erosion of their conditions.
Cabin crew are embarrassed by decisions they made in agreeing ( via the EBA'S ) to the changes thus screwing themselves... They thought bringing in cheap overseas labour would see all the crappy trips going to the Thai's and Kiwi's and get themselves a few extra bucks pay rise too......it's a hard and painful truth.

Sure does Chris,
Now where do I do the course in passing stage one? How much does one have to pay to be psychometrically assessed by these clowns?
The psych system sure seems to be doing a fine job of making sure unstable, unintelligent, boorish morons are weeded out.... or is it supposed to select them?...... or weed them out?...... no select them?.....no weed them out....select them....weed them out.... oh what time do we knock off today?
Rollup rollup for the greatest gravytrain on earth! Hurry final season coming soon!

My dear boy...you are talking about management of course.Lets not get confused with these myths about Cabin Crew.

A 'crappy trip' is defined as one which pertains to low or limited allowances, is daylight ( have to face the pax and not just tend to a sleeping flock) and where cultural differences have you treated as their personal servants......so to answer you question, Mumbai, Joburg and Manilla.

Aso
...and the Thais go to none of those destinations and are therefore doing none of those "crappy"trips that you previously referred to.
Personally I am not embarrassed about anything..overseas bases have been around for years.It was only a matter of time before we got them.
The anger is about expecting to be able to deliver an excellent service and not being provided with the resources to do so.Anger at management saying pull your belts in while we loosen ours.
Dixons wage has risen 148% in the last 18 months.Running a company on incentive bonuses is not efficient as the Americans discovered about ten years ago.

So we have 2 tech crew in the last couple of years involved in a punchup, or attempted punchup, plus one where there is doubt over whether or not he started it.
That's three. Three out of about 2500, or roughly 0.1%. Aw heck, let's be creative and round it up to 0.5% (which is a significant markup over that sort of total).
I'm not excusing it, and in 2 of those cases I personally reckon the tech crew guy deserves to be sacked, but geez some of you are full of it. 2500 techies and there are bound to be a few tossers, psychometric testing or not. But I've seen more than a few lazy, obnoxious, arrogant, wouldn't-work-in-an-iron-lung FAs out there too! How about the girl who, for whatever heinous atrocity was committed against her, refuses to talk to any techies, even when she's working on the UD? Feels the need to call downstairs and get someone else to do it! Excellent (and sadly, not unexpected) display of maturity.
