I had no idea there were so many sad and twisted tech crew out there until I read this thread.......but then it surely couldnt be our QF tech crew! they would never say these things, would they! it must be all those off shore techies that wannabe QF pilots

If they weren`t.....
 
These QF technical attendants(T/As)would be sharpening pencils for the State Rail Authority if it wasn`t for the Wright Brothers.Most of them have a large verandah over the toy store and can`t hold their hands up save to buy another beer.Or better still take someone else`s.Preferably a females beer because they might,just might be able to knock her over with their egos.Most have a heart the size of a pine nut,hiding behind that meaningless civil commission.I await the barrage....come on girls don`t let me down.

Yeah, you're right...so what's wrong with all that?

They must be good at something, you still end up in bed with 'em!

Let me guess,your mum and dad were first cousins.

Sheesh with comments like that no wonder the crew are punchin' the unskilled labour the F@#k out. :ok:

QFRegional 16th Jun 2005 13:44

Skill? Give me a break, anyone can obtain your "skill" all it takes is for mum and dad to pay for the endorsement.

I'm pretty impressed. This thread took about 30 posts longer than I expected to degenerate into the usual infantile argument about which side of the flight deck door is better than the other! :yuk: :E

Shame that some of you guys can't spot a wind up when you see it and rather than labelling the one or two idiots, decide to tar the entire tech crew scene with the same brush!

I'm starting to see why we keep coming to logger heads and having these clashes. People haven't learnt to take a deep breath and label the behaviour, not the group. I'm looking forward to us doing joint CRM again in the next training year!! :ok:

It is not about which side of the flight deck door is better.It is about those who have not yet developed normal interpersonal skills and whose life is lived in a self absorbed vaccuum.
Totally unasseptable..go to the naughty corner for.....

scrubed 16th Jun 2005 16:05

Exactly.

I would expect the Qwantas pilots to be better than this. They are meant to be well-brought-up. And judging from the above comments, there is obviously only a decent level of maturity expected from ONE side of the cockpit door. The front.

Guys, stop smacking the hosties around. The more times they end up decked with broken nails, jaws, whatever, the harder it is going to be to get them to do their jobs properly.

And do you all want your bread rolls buttered on the rim of the crapper? That is what The Help will resort to, one day, to get their own back on you. I hope I'm not there to see it.

Sad state of affairs, man.

As we can see here, some of the hosties are unable to keep their envy from interfering with their ability to just do their job as EVERYONE expects them to.

This comment about the "Wright Brothers" sums up the whole stinking attitude back there. What kind of ignoramus would write something like that??? I mean..... for starters, the poor fool has totally missed the point that SHE ALSO would be looking for a new (waitressing) job if it weren't for the Wright Bros.

And yes of course, the Wrights were the only ones who ever thought of powered flight.... :rolleyes: Jeezuz Kriste, no wonder hosties have such a bimbo rep!!!! :rolleyes:


Anyway, ladies, try to see each other as co-workers instead of punching bags or sky gods. Can't we all just get along...???

What's with all this petty jealousy, hosties?

And my fellow pilots, stop looking down your noses at them. And bashing them.

Employment Criteria
 
One group were employed for their technical expertise.The other group were employed for their advanced interpersonal skills.The interaction between the two since 911 has been generally nil.This does not bode well for critical CRM situations.A development QF would be wise to recognise and remedy ASAP. As long as it is cost neutral of course.

scrubed 16th Jun 2005 16:10

You spelt fellatio incorrectly. Why are "you people" so hung up on sex etc? No wonder no one takes you seriously.

Anyway haven't you already posted on this thread under a different name?????



I don't know about "advanced" interpersonal skills. You have to be more "advanced" than a caveman, I suppose.

Many were employed because they speak Japanese or other languages and were less than a size 14.

Spelling
 
The incorrect spelling is both deliberate and necessary.Sent you a PM

As nice as the Bonaventure is, I’d be bored out of my skull having to stay at 4th and Figueroa in downtown. And I agree with jettlager re the limited offerings. That’s no way to decompress.

Other crews do express the same insecurity. Even the locals express the same insecurity...

Whatever happened to staying at the Palos Verdes Inn or elsewhere in the South Bay? Also, I seem to remember Qantas crews in Santa Monica so very long ago... Although I do understand that these decisions are made pretty far up the food chain, other carriers have found reasonably-priced hotel contracts in better neighborhoods.
:confused:

That rules out Torrance.... one of our crew had a gun held to her head in the hotel lobby toilets!

:mad: :{

Crusty Demon 16th Jun 2005 21:23

Were just less than a size 14 at the time they sent their applications in - generally there ain't too many QF crew less than size 14 now.

Chief Chook 16th Jun 2005 22:10

I don't see a problem.
1 ship
1 Captain
1 First Mate
1 crew

The cockpit door is there for security - it isn't a line of demarcation.
Whether it's open, or closed, the Captain is the commander of the ENTIRE aircraft at ALL times - unless incapacitated, in which case the First Officer then becomes the boss.

Too easy.

tinpis 16th Jun 2005 22:26

I can recall a skipper telling an old AN boiler he owned the whole ship.
Ended up in a hellava sh1t fight .
