..................'any truth to the rumour that the FAAA Industrial Officers are now called the new VISITORS.
Word is that there is just a bit of tension going down at the bunker between MM and the latest recruit ( Boy Wonder). In fact he has been overheard-referring to MM and Guardian as "very unpleasant -type"
people. Already Tarantula reckons this will turn out to be an Ace card for QF !!!
The latest piece of correspondence from MM just had just a faint wiff of paranoia.
Don't be distracted boyz..........the main game is about to begin.
Also,have a gander at this item from Bloomberg:
"Japan Airlines announced plans (12-Oct-07) to implement a voluntary early retirement programme for flight attendants, ground managers and generalmanagers who have completed at least 15 years service, as part of its restructuring programme. The carrier plans to reduce personnel costs by USD425 million p/a compared to FY2006 through a combination of a 10% productivity increase, suspending new hiring and not replacing retiring staff, in addition to the implementation of special early retirement
programmes."
If the Rat brought in this..................half the operational staff would be out tha door

having made
your points in self promotion lets get back to the maingame. any news on the mile long comapnies wishlist for the EBA??
whats the story behind the latest email from MM? sound slike he is a bit paranoid about some guys trying ( i think it is in regard to a fatigue survey??????), to get some support. must admit the current guys haven't done much about **** patterns. i recently flew with some not so senior CSM's and they are contemplating handing in the coat as they are fed up getting s**t flying and no prospect of moving up in the chain

The Solution?
Please provide us with your solutions to all the perceived ills regarding QF LH CC.
Now is not the time to introduce red herrings into the equation
Introduce fatigue into the arena and you will provide an opportunity for airlines to implement compulsory retirement at 10 years.
The authors of the email would scream the loudest!
Careful what you wish for kiddiesl

hard to imagine
brisvegas has too many, melbourne not enough, syd is about right. unless there is a major expansion (what aircrafts????). lets not forget there are 300 plus kiwis start training in the new year.

kiwis
if 300 kiwis start training at the start of the year qf will have to
train another 300 at the end of the year as replacements. the
attrition rate at the akl base is awesome.
only way to get mel numbers up is direct employment into the base.
who would transfer there? 3 day hkg, 3 day sin, per returns. most of
the lax trip crew slots taken by other bases including kiwis. crew better
off short haul but cannot transfer out of longhaul, e.g. GK, resigned

spot on
indamiddle, but as you know the powers in syd don't give a toss about turnover. if anything it makes it look good on paper, if you use the 30% kiwi revolving door,30% Lhr revolving door, gives the overall impression over all bases there is movement.

It's all about the B pay scale for new employees.
If we can get that in our new EBA then we will get new f/t Aus based crew. (but on a lower rate than us)
Solves the seniority problem and hopefully removes the need for AKL, BKK and LHR bases, and maybe even get some of our regional flying back from S/H.
That is what the union are trying to negotiate.
