I hope you’re a pilot representative for Network with that sort of disdain for the company.

​​​​​​Burning excess fuel for the sake of it is unprofessional and just wasteful. You want to be paid more but happy to burn fuel which is the highest cost for an airline.
All you’re doing is helping some manager meet their KPIs. F#ck em, let ‘em know just how much our everyday decisions affect the bottom line.

I agree with the comment about pilots and engineers. It take a decade or 2 to be an expert. Not so much for cabin crew, easily replaced and quickly…just like a manager

It might only take 6 weeks or so to train up a cabin crew and they can do the job but it takes experience and smarts to deal with difficult passengers and real emergencies. Experienced, senior cabin not only save money but sell the product .

I agree. It does take 6 weeks to train up cabin crew and I get very nervous when the CS has been in the company 3 months and the 3 FA even less.

Respectfully disagree- partially anyway. We used to get cabin crew who were former teachers, cops, paramedics, etc. For them working the cabin was a peace of piss and they added immense value to the operation. For most people fresh out of high school lots of training and time on the job is required until they offer similar value.

I do accept that. Life experience does help, and having someone new can cause delays and issues onboard. CSM with experience does keep the show on the road

It’s funny you can’t see an in between. Either you have disdain for the company or you are drinking the “coolaid”

Before I am criticised , yes it is only part of the article but to me how long can Qantas keep up the facade of 9% for 5 years or 1.8% per annum when average agreements are running at plus 4% per annum and the public service at over 5%.

They will try to keep it up until they have to skulk hang-dog to the board explaining why they are unable to implement the boards chosen strategy due to a lack of trained and engaged crew. At some stage the board will give direction to the CEO to ‘fix that problem’. My fear is that even with significant wage increases they will be behind the drag curve on training and recruitment and it will take a decade to power over the hump while market share is obliterated. All it would take for Qantas to fall apart internationally is a big operator ( EK, Etihad, Qatar, The new Saudi one, Delta, American, etc) to open a couple of bases down under. Melbourne and Sydney or Perth. Thats a big risk to have sitting in someone else’s hands.

And… as I keep saying China hasn’t started yet. Reverse bases $$$$$, times will be interesting.

I’m not too sure if it’s current but I have just today seen a photo posted by someone purporting to be him babysitting a bottle of Grange in the first class lounge. I would go MIA if I had a “bottle in front-a-me” 😉
