Second thoughts on this extra crew and Schlonghaul raises an interesting point.
Will THE crew member be expected to do a horseshoe in premium Y/C.If so they will probably do a PR job on it and call it a tactical U-Turn or moving forward with zonal reponsibility or some other rubbish.
Imagine the PA's as well....looking after less than premium Y/C class is CSS .... and in Premium Y/C or as we call it Darth Class is THE F/A ......

In what way exactly will Premium Y/C be different from the rest of Y/C?
Qantas launches Premium Economy Cabin
Sydney, 24 July 2007
Qantas today revealed the new Premium Economy cabin and seating to be offered progressively on its international Boeing 747-400 aircraft from February 2008 and on its fleet of new A380 being delivered from August 2008.
Qantas Executive General Manager John Borghetti said the airline's Premium Economy cabin would appeal to Economy travellers seeking more space, comfort and an enhanced level of service.
"The Premium Economy seat was designed by Marc Newson - the designer of our award winning Skybed sleeper seat - and manufactured by Recaro, which makes seats for luxury auto brands such as Aston Martin, Audi and Porsche," Mr Borghetti said.
"The seats offer extra width and recline, more legroom, and an in-arm digital wide screen television monitor, as well as laptop power connection.
"Premium Economy will also include a self-service bar offering a selection of refreshments throughout the flight, in addition to the regular choice of meals designed by Neil Perry's Rockpool Group, premium wines, superior tableware and soft furnishings."
Mr Borghetti said other key features of Premium Economy included:
* the world's best Premium Economy recline and leg room - nine inch seat recline and up to 42 inch seat pitch;
* extra wide, 19.5 inch seat width;
* ergonomic cushioning;
* larger, in-arm touch screen video monitor;
* multiport jack with USB (A380 only) and RJ45 ports;
* a six-way adjustable headrest;
* an integrated leg rest with fold-out footrest; and
* a wide centre console with a fixed cocktail table and in-arm meal table.
"Premium Economy customers will also have a dedicated check-in area," Mr Borghetti said.
He said the Premium Economy cabin would be available gradually on B747 services to London, Hong Kong and Johannesburg from February 2008 with further routes being added following the introduction of A380 aircraft.
Premium Economy will be located on the main deck of B747 aircraft with 32 seats in a two-four-two configuration.
On the A380, the cabin will be located on the upper deck with 32 seats in a two-three-two configuration.

Premium YC
Glorias if you are going to cut and paste at least do the whole article.
You forgot to quote JB's "dedicated cabin crew" statement which was also reported widely in all print media as well as the QF PR Dept
Oxymoron alert!
Wonder where all the dedicated crew are coming from? They'll be more horseshoes flying than at Bart Cummings stables!

"dedicated cabin crew"
And a self service bar.....
No we know why they are putting an extra crew member on board.If so you would imagine they would need more than 150 extra crew especially with the A380 on the way....Sorry I forgot about the LHR/BKK/AKl base which they are probably intending to double.

I hope they will put in some cupboards for the multitude of jackets and coat covers and not expect to use what ones we have in J/C or L5.
I also guess that this will mean at least one and most likely 2 less toilets for Rooty Hill class y/c

hey silvafox,
nothing wrong with zonal penetration, if u get it right!!!
had to add another f/a as there is a self serve bar to monitor,
as for dedicated crew...where are they going to find one, let alone 170
looks like the new c zone will replace R5 as the place to work, hope they load more magazines to keep the 'dedicated' crew awake

Does anyone know how many seats there will be and where the self service bar will be?
Will they have their own toilets?
Could be the new comfort zone for crew....At least when they're alseep.

config 2-4-2 32 seats therefore 4 rows.
there goes most, maybe all c zone
2 dedicated crew, 5 left in discount y class inc senior, maybe 260 y class left.
only 2 carts will be operated down back, can't see another option at this point but it takes out horshoe in dicount class and creates it in full class
let's have a competition to see who can come up with the best nicknames for the two classes ...hopefully as clever as the 'tele tubbies'
maybe the union could chuck in a prize for the best...we get to vote though, not anyone with numerals in their moniker

Alpine ......the matters that you allude cannot be agreed to by MM without them put being put to a membership vote.
This is the way the FAAA constitution is constructed.

THE FAAA goon squad must be in a humorous mood tonight, someone put too much rum in your doughnuts at the bunker today!
Don't worry alpine 57 I may be critical of MM and I don't like a lot of things he does like the A330 -but I know he would never sell us out ( I HOPE).

indamiddle.........
It's just that it seems to be trendy these days to have a number after your user name
Alpine57....It's true then that MM's middle name is Hannibal?
lowerlobe181
why do the numbers 99, 57, 38 etc and their associated comments mean nothing.
it's true!!!! MM will eat your kids too!!!
