Without knowing anything of the elected individuals running the L/H FAAA one may very well assume so.
Those who know them however wouldn't make the same assumption.

Exactly right RTB, so instead of accepting it, what can be done to stop it?
What can existing cabin crew and the union's do?
Which would be the best course?
A third union? One union? Who would stay? Who would go?
Or should we just concentrate on what bottle we're going to get at the duty free and allow it to get worse?

speedbirdhouse:I apologise if you thought my post inferred anything as far as the officials of the L/H union is concerned.
The point I was trying to make is that the airlines have no trouble attracting people under those conditions and if we are to survive I can't see much else the L/H can use as a bargaining chip.
It is basically a 'B' scale and since the actions of S/H and their cosy relationship do not seem to be over the company will want some kind of cost reduction to bring us into line with the domestics.
If you can think of any other card we have up our sleeve then by all means the L/H officials will use them but I think we have been painted into a corner.
Remember how many people were happy to be trained in the middle of the night to replace us and a lot of them are in AKL right now.
Hopefully a change of government will help as will a combined union but I honestly believe that there is too much ill feeling towards us in S/H.If we are to amalgamate then they will want us to have casuals in L/H for sure because they will not give them up.

Another BS statement about the LHR Base
Once again the misinformed are making statements (see lies) about the LHR base loosing money.
Here is your chance to put your proof forward in a open forum!!!!!
And none of that my spies in QCC prego club told me.
Just plain facts that can be backed up!!!!
Would you like me to publish on here the audited results for last year and the year before????
Every KPI met and above, even our turn over is below 5% in the last 7 months, which is 10% below industry average for the UK.
I fully understand your passion but keep it real !!!!!!
You are right about one thing returning LH LHR CSM's will be rewarded for the loyalty shown over the last 2 years.
Just to let you know if there is one bit of work place harrasment shown..... the crew have been told it will be dealt with severly and no warnings.

mate is that the same company who would not let loyal crew transfer to lhr but made them take lwop.is that the same company who set up a company in the uk so that they did not have to pay you australian super?
pal i'd love you to publish the 'audited' figures for the lhr base.will it show the cost to the thai base for all those bkk crew who spent so long in lhr they went home with a brit acent.
why have the company not published figures and told us how much the base saved qf?
i reckon your right though about one thing and that is they decide they want more csm's and they have not for years.the return of the lhr base crew is jsut a coincidence plus how long crew have to put in the paperwork.
how about the company showing lyalty to the crew that have worked for them for years just not 2.

mn63,
the longhaul FAAA in bed with the company????
Try posting on matters that you have "some" understanding.
Has that CIS "typo" been sorted out to your satisfaction?

"We"???
Aren't you a jitconnict FA based out of AKL???

For all those l/h out there I think what some of us want to know is, are the l/h faaa respectable? But with more than just a 'yes'. I would like to here some qualified answers. In the s/h division there is a distinct lake of trust of faaa. I think you'll find that many in jitconnect have come from our shores wanting to get back into flying.
Are the l/h faaa swayed by 'jobs for the boys'?
What percentage of l/h are members?
L/H FAAA certainly have more teeth than my faaa!
I also wonder how many s/h are members of our faaa, perhaps maybe the faaa have been looking after the interest of the majority, hence casuals, fwa and parttime??? Maybe this current situation of VR and high casuals numbers(800) is what everybody wants? They don't want this job to around in next 10yrs?
Also when will AW and FAAA acknowledge the memo sent out 3 weeks ago. Where is our representation?? Why are they still in the office in Mel, rubbing our noses in it?
What contempt they have for their MAM members.

Casualvermin,
you would be lucky to find a single longhaul crew member delusional enough to think that the Longhaul FAAA are "in bed" with the company.
Those who know the elected officials or anything of the recent history between the Longhaul FAAA and the company would laugh at the proposition.
My information suggests that in excess of 95% of longhaul crew are members of the Longhaul FAAA.
Interesting that the actions of CC management over the last few years has resulted in an upswing in membership.
What exactly do you mean by the question, "Are the l/h faaa swayed by 'jobs for the boys'?"
I'd be happy to give you my thoughs but Im at a loss as to your meaning?
