flyagainhewishes,
Is either a fear of flying ex crew member,a visitor or one of the strikebreakers who had to go to AKL to get a job after they could not steal one from SYD crew..how about some fush and chups?
However in any case he is one of the new breed who are happy to be the patsy for Darth but in the end will end up with conditions not even 3rd world countries would consider....but remember you will reap what you sow and while you where wearing a nappy we had the good life you only dream about

Rocket Science?
Excellent customer service has two requirements:1.Ｈａｐｐｙ ｍｏｔｉｖａｔｅｄ staff
2.Adequate resources to do the job.
Qantas`service failures are now endemic
1.Insufficient staff for service delivery
2.AVOD/IFE have a reliability of around 60%
3.20% of pax miss out on meal choice
4. On time departures decreasing network wide
5.Unhappy "disengaged" staff company wide
The "flex and grind" continuous service is now creating an unsafe working environment as crew now operate into the "fatigue Zone"
The new staff survey will be far worse than the one before.
No one at executive level seems aware of this.Either that or they just simply don`t care.
Qantas now has absolutely nothing to do with customer service at any level.
It is now nothing more then second rate transport,deteriorating rapidly to third rate.
It has only 28% of traffic into and out of Australia.
Management is hell bent on destroying shareholder value.
Anyone who flies Qantas should lower their expectations by at least 50% in order to enjoy the total experience.
The current employees company wide have my heartfelt sympathy.
A once proud happy company being decimated by a flock of dysfunctional,remorseless,self absorbed swine masquerading as management

I have to say,being a flight attendant is the best paid unskilled job there possibly could be. And for so few hours . I did it for 20 years before the gravy train went bust and I had to find a real job. It makes me laugh to hear you whining about pay and conditions etc etc . Ask any of the old An crew who used to whinge and whine about similar things . Those gripes seem so petty now. I have a cuz working in SYD for Q.F. He has nothing to do with flight ops , but spent several years at night school to get a masters ( business degree) . He is,I guess, one of these overpaid managers that some flight attendants here pour scorn on. He is on 70 k a year , and works a heap of overtime-unpaid of course because he is on a salary. At a barbie recently with a couple of Long Haulers present the late night conversation came a up about comparative wages , conditions etc and he was astounded at the money they made . Interestingly , from his and other department's perspective, long haul F/A's are the most privileged , pampered and overpaid emloyees in the company so don't expect much sympathy from them when the inevitable happens.
I wish you well in the real world --from the endless diatribe I read from a few regular posters here I suspect many of you will not cope when Qanjet*rules the roost and G.D has left to wreak havoc at the retirement village.

Priapism
How about you go on your merry little way and mind your own business.
One must always strive to improve ones lot in life not discount it.
You have nothing but diatribe to offer yourself.
People like you are creepy, you attend a BBQ and drink with your supposed colleagues and most probably agree with them to their faces and then you turn around on this anonymous forum and post that crap.
Ooh you are the type of person we should all be scared of not GD and the hordes.
as your user name states, you have a real disfunction....... constantly hard and yet unable to perform!

for those of you that dont know what Priapism is!
pri·a·pism ( P ) Pronunciation Key (pr-pzm)
n.
Persistent, usually painful erection of the penis, especially as a consequence of disease and not related to sexual arousal.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[French priapisme, from Late Latin pripismus, from Greek pripismos, from pripizein, to have an erection, from Pripos, Priapus.]
pri·a·pism (pr-pzm)
n.
Main Entry: pri·a·pism
Pronunciation: 'prI-&-"piz-&m
Function: noun
: an abnormal, more or less persistent, and often painful erection of the penis; especially : one caused by disease rather than sexual desire
Pri·a·pus /prI-'A-p&s/, Greek mythological character. A god of gardens and fertility, Priapus was the son of Aphrodite, who disowned him because he had a grotesque little body with a huge penis. He was a member of the retinue of the god Dionysus and chased after nymphs.

well said cartexchange
Priapism here is a bit of reality
QF cabin crews are amongst the cheapest in the OECD and also are very competetive against most (not all) major asian/ middle east carriers. also Europa,Asia and the US have a highly regulated cabin crew environment (flight duty limitations, monthly, yearly flight limits) . you either have never flown or had no idea what was going on ( a sad tail if you really flew 20 years). there are also many qf cabin crew who have uni / other degrees (same as your cuz)and provide qf management with an ongoing stream of ideas how to improve the business (it does take time to implement because the black hole in sydney is getting bigger by the minute).as i keep saying qf crews are paid ok but nothing to write home about(taking all relevant facts into consideration).

......oh so FLACCID.
hey Rectangular Prism. The reason we are "overpaid" are as follows:
* Away from loved ones for long periods of time.
* Jet Lag/time change.
* Feeling like crap after operating a LAX -14 hr TOD.
* Putting up with 400 pax for extended periods of time.
* Being exposed to radiation, illness, disease + sickness.
* Operating into and out of high crime areas, potential terror targets.
* Staying proficient in operational safety.
*Working bloody hard.
I could go on and on-but its boring.
If you claim to have flown for 20 years-you should know. How many times were you turned around ?.
Keep your impotent comments to yourself.
There is a medical procedure that may assist.

hey jet black monaro
From SMH, just released
the future of Virgin Blue has been thrown into question following Toll's $6 billion-plus acquisition of its majority owner Patrick Corp Ltd.
Toll has indicated that it is looking at using Virgin Blue for air freight services, but key stakeholder and Virgin Group chief Richard Branson has made it clear that he wants to regain control of the airline.
didnt you say in one of your posts once that the chickens are home to roost.
Oh JBM painting cardboard freight boxes isnt going to be half as much fun!

FAAA waste !
OK FAAA I have just go back from LAX and the big buzz word up there was that you guys are now funding the appeal for those 2 CSS's that were dismissed by the company recently for a long list of infractions (not small ones)
Come on FAAA they have been given a million chances, please tell me that you are not wasting FAAA members money on barristers fees.
People are really pissed off, and I mean pissed off.
So Eden, guardian lets hear this spin.......
Why are you wasting FAAA money on 2 losers!
