B First Recruitment?

Quite simply we haven't had enough amusement come from Level 4 at QCC with both the CSM and CSS recruitment. What are the chances that the comedy will continue with a BFA selection occuring anytime soon?

It would seem logical considering there is no flexibility within the category (eg. no BFA was successful in gaining VR nor tempoary part time). If this does occur, do you think they would action the base transfer lists as they have done with the CSM & CSS positions?

Any thoughts....

Were Bfirst crew told that they were not able to apply for VR from the start or was it a late thought from the Benny Hill gang in the office?

Are you currently employed as crew?

There are a number of people who post on pprune that are no longer crew.......nothing irrelevant at all.........maybe irreverent at times though....

CSM Decline

MY friend,not only have numbers declined due to a shrinking network and the domestics taking more work,but the quality of CSMs has also declined

by "domestics" i presume your refering to shorthaul.

Use the correct terms please. After all, we do fly to more international locations than yourselves.

Out of idle curiousity, what is the difference between short and long haul, in terms of attitude?

This should be good...

Yes, it's all good.
Interestingly I was called out on a 767 AKL return this week. Wonder what happened to the Domestic Crew that was supposed to operate these flights?
Being LH Bfirst Crew, it was quite a novelty and brought back memories of all the 747 AKL day trips we did !
The frequent AKL-SYD & return pax did notice we were not the regular "crowd" on board.
Friendly, relaxed, less rushed, more gracious and attentive service were some of the comments.

Vive La Difference !

Radiation junkie, the reason you got called out on the AKL return is because short haul have an excess of flying in open time this bid period. By agreement with the union, some of our flying is being transferred to long haul.

I agree, regular travelers can often tell the difference between long haul and short haul crews. The distinguishing feature being the age of the flight attendants!!

Lets see, maybe i'm wrong with the amount of overseas ports we fly to compared to LH (going off current bid period)
1. Auckland
2. Christchurch
3. Noumea
4. Jakarta
5. Singapore
6. Hong Kong
7. Shanghai
8. Beijing
9. Mumbai
10. Japan
11. Denpassar

and of course approx 15 Australian locations.
