Sex and Air NZ staff travel - what's going on?
 

Air New Zealand confirmed that it has commenced an investigation into an alleged breach of its staff travel policy.
The alleged breach relates to suggestions that staff travel privileges have been used in return for sexual favours. The issue was drawn to the company’s attention by a New Zealand magazine.
Group General Manager of Human Resources Vanessa Stoddart said Air New Zealand viewed the alleged breach of policy extremely seriously.
“Obviously this matter will be fully investigated before any conclusions are drawn by the company. Staff travel is a privilege and not a right. We make it clear to all employees when they join the company that there are strict rules governing the use of staff travel. One of these is that it is not to be used for commercial gain. Abuse of the staff travel privileges can result in these being withdrawn or ultimately dismissal of the employee concerned,” said Ms Stoddart.
“The magazine has only been able to provide Air New Zealand with the name of one staff member, who works in a non-management role.”
Air New Zealand’s staff travel programme has operated for several decades and has been well respected by staff over that time.
“Incidents of abuse of the staff travel programme are extremely rare. When they do occur, they are treated with the same degree of gravity as any other breach of company policy.”
The staff travel programme incurs no cost to Air New Zealand. Staff can only use seats that have not been booked by revenue paying passengers and must fly standby.

I wonder if sheep were involved...

hehe

Aussie

Has somebody been pulling the wool over managements eyes?

All frush young lamb looks like mutton after a while...

Very quite to point out the non-management role of the perpetrator.:)

What's going on?

Some rooting apparently:E

So someones been caught - people in every airline around the world abuse staff travel.

I know more than a few in QF who choose to ignore the guidelines.

Sack them all.

yeah, management would say that. But they F**k around and are completely hopeless with everything else. About time employees get aa few "perks". It's a privilege not a right:yuk:

A few people might get the "chop" then?
:}

Were there any PA's involved.......will they get paid off?

Someones getting more than a sub-load then!:}:ouch::suspect:

maybe their famous hostie is at it again?;)

Fush and chups anyone??:E
Can't anyone treat this seriously??:ugh:

No!:D

heavens above - before Mr Johns and I got married, he signed me up as his travel companion. We did a few trips here and there, and as a reward I granted Ronnie some sexual favours.....:mad: :eek:

So is any of this any different? Hardly think so!

signed, Mrs Johns

Mrs Johns
But how many did he get after u were married!

You clearly aren't married Frog, They shut it down once you marry them!! :\

i'd prefer a sheep over most of the hosties they have! :yuk:

Troppo Being Joe Paying public now (just to show that I don't work for NZ!) I have to argue with you. Every flight I had a couple of years ago between BNE AKL LAX FRA - LON LAX AKL BNE had hosties that were just delightful. I'm not saying that they were all James Bond girls (some were) but they provided the service I wanted (be nice) with a very good demeanor. I certainly wouldn't crawl over them to get to you... now here I'm presuming that you're a male type person.

My wife travels on Staff Travel, so that makes me a culprit also !!!!!.....:E :E

Dare I quote from last weeks (About Town - Jun 4 - Pg 14) Sunday Star Times - Bridget Saunders gossip column...
"Which married CEO was suspended for a week for sleeping with two staff members? One was on his own desk."
Rules for one and not others.......
Management Goooooodddd all others Baaaaddddd....
