Twiggs…Twiggs…Twiggs….I thought we had changed the subject and now you bring back the insults..Are you trying to get this thread closed down as well…..oh well some people never learn.
If you read my example of an faaa response and then read Steve's ....sorry Guardians response you will see I was right on the money..
We are fantastic ...We know what we are doing
If you don't agree with us you must be silly and ill informed..
Actually if you saw an interview with our illustrious Prime Mincer you would have seen where he does not see the need for a referendum on Water recycling.This is interesting if you remember that is almost the same sentiments that Guardian expressed when asked about whether a vote was necessary.Maybe our PM is going to the same school of thought as the faaa...
We know what we are doing
We don't need to ask what you think
You voted for me and I can do what ever I want

No Lobe, just highlighting your many insults, and I will continue to do so until you stop.
Anyway, back to the NRT incident, the CSS must have had the item in their bag.
I doubt anyone would put a biscuit or chocolate or whatever it was in their pocket.
Hence, there would be little they could do, besides use the old one, "I didn't put it there and my bag has been out of my sight and unlocked for the last 10 hours".

twiggs do you really think it was about a chocolate biscuit or even a bottle of water I don't think so!
I have been searched and I had a bottle of water with a receipt of course and they never even bothered to ask me, all they were after was booze.
Anyway choco biscuits are on our tray and we are allowed to remove any item that is on our tray, plus with all the food that crew carry there is no way they can do anything about that.
the item must have had QF stamped all over it.
The amount of salads and other misc items (quarantine permitting) in their bags is incredible.
Guardian et AL have been very quiet on this one, how about some information boys/

Attention all Qantas Long Haul Flight Attendants
REDUNDANCY DETAILS
This afternoon the FAAA was briefed by the Company about Long Haul redundancy.
The Company has decided that ALL applicants for the voluntary redundancy (VR) will be released. The Company will release a statement this afternoon and on Monday it will send letters to the home address of all cabin crew affected.
The letters to crew will contain the release date for each cabin crew member, but essentially for most crew their last day within Qantas will be October 1. Crew with carry over trips into the new roster will be released by 8 October.
Many of you who are leaving have been cabin crew for all of your working lives and you have greatly contributed to the success of Qantas as one of the great Airlines of the world.
Your solidarity and support for each other is demonstrated by your membership of the FAAA. That solidarity has resulted in all of us having enviable conditions of employment. Your contribution and legacy is acknowledged by all of us who remain.
On behalf of the FAAA, the entire membership, the elected officials and the staff of the FAAA, I wish you the very best for your future endeavours.
I also take the opportunity to advise those of you leaving that you need to advise the FAAA in writing that you will be ceasing membership, in order that union deductions can cease. I also wish to advise that associate membership of the FAAA can be maintained by contacting the Office.

there was no mention of booze being the cause of the CSS being stood down.
I have never found a sweet biscuit on any of my crew trays, I only ever get a dry cracker.
These days we are rarely getting chocolates with our snacks.
I suggest you read the carriage of consumable items policy again as the company have been highlighting lately.

I think it is time to stop jumping to conclusions regarding the crew member in NRT.In our society and with our legal system you are innocent until you have been proven guilty and as we have seen with both Nick and the unicef incidents things may not be what they seem.
A series of quotes from TWIGGS
“A CSS was found with a biscuit from the aircraft.”
“the CSS must have had the item in their bag.”
“These days we are rarely getting chocolates with our snacks”
It would appear that our resident judge ,jury and exectutioner TWIGGS has already pronounced the crew member concerned guilty with these lines.
TWIGGS on the contrary,most crew snacks have a chocolate bar except for some like Singapore which is usually a muesli bar or similar.
As I said let’s give the crew member a break and benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise.
As far as VR is concerned I wish all those taking it the best of luck for the future

Given that it now seems QF will let all those who have applied for VR go it will be interesting to see what happens with promotion.
Rumours suggest that 60 odd CSMs had finally had a gutfull and wanted out.
The average years of service for these crew must have been in excess of 20 years each.
20 X 60 =1200 years worth of experience walking out the door.
To be replaced with ............. AKL based FAs?

....."thank you ball boys, thank you linesmen !!"
The "conflict of conscience" phrase used by www is very familiar. It was used by the FAAA to refer to those union members who scabbed in february 2003 during the stop work meeting.
Wed webbing loop by using this phrase has identified who he is. He is an ex line manager who worked during the stop work meeting in 2003. No wonder he so detests the FAAA.
CAUGHT OUT BIG TIME !

You're way to smart for me.
To think that I gave you the "key phrase" -then you searched for the answer.....just like in COLD CASE.
Guardian, my only wish now is ......could you arrange that my payout figures are changed to reflect the years I spent as a "law abiding Line Manager".
There must be a difference of at least $30K!!!
Muchas Grassi-arse.

years of service
speedy, you might find the average years of service of the 60 retiring csm's is averaged at 30 years (if not more,the top 80 in the senority list have 30+service). so thats 1800 years of service/experience walking out with little thank you
well done
to all retiries and lets catch up at the review
and to our domestic collegues get ready for beijing in november

You QF Longhaulers keep refering to shorthaul as "domestic" etc... Does it hurt you to say Shorthaul or something?
Just like the FA who called me a "purser" and not a CSM when i told her what area i was from when she asked me whilst on one of her flights.
Grow up.

Since you brought it up........
You lot have always been domestic and as far as I am concerned always will be.
It explains why your union is called, "domestic".
http://www.faaadomestic.org.au/domestic.htm
Oh BTW, the same applies for "purser".
------------
Interesting that at the last group Qantas union meeting at QCC the domestic FAAA were nowhere to be seen despite the fact that just about ALL other QF unions made representations...............

I think your overreacting a bit, both words are interchangeable really.
Should we call the terminal you operate from the shorthaul terminal instead of the domestic terminal?
You seem a little put out that people call you a purser?
It wasn't long ago that purser was your title.
What's the big deal, over here we still use FSD instead of CSM and no-one minds.

I don't know where you are Twiggs but I have not been referred to as a FSD for some time.Maybe he/she is older than I am and likes to remember the good old days.
On another subject,I wonder how many crew actually applied for VR and have any of them taken the money and gone up to the UK base.They apparently need crew...any information anyone

60 csm's leaving?
if that many go by 8th october when/how are they going to replace them?
how long does it take to train up a replacement csm?
are they training already or do the kiwis require less time in training school?
