If you havent heard anything yet dont worry... in short haul, the crew that went through had a very slow process and have waited up to 6 months to commence. As it all is done between aus and nz it is a really slow process...
I do know however of one girl who has already been told she is not through so that may be a good sign.

You Haven't Left But........
Those that took VR may have exit dates 01/10/2006-08/10/2006,but the the company thinks you have left already.
Try to login to Staff Travel..access revoked
Try to change a trip in Open Time...no chance you have left...but I am not leaving til next month...sorry all rights are revoked
Some people have been employed by this company fo over thirty years and this how their exit is being handled...with all the subtley and sensitivity of a baseball bat in the face.
Kinda makes you all warm and fuzzy inside....not!!!!

The Purge Has Begun
Restructure of LH CC management has begun.
Base Manager BNE has decided to leave the business.
One other from MEL has also decided to leave the business.
No word on the fate of the "terminator" as yet..one can only hope..deportation perhaps?

yes the culling has begun.
The first thing I looked at was the name of the terminator, he hasn't been given any of the new positions a sigh of relief for all in QF
Looks like the CSM and CSS now have been incorporated into teams and they report to a Cabin Crew Team manager.
What will happen to fat boy slim and the other CSS team managers.
hmmmmmm

So what is the story with the culling?
Have we all got new parole officers?
Are CSMs now to report to a CCTM and not CCM or whatever they are called this week?
I guess at the end of the day none of it really makes any difference. There was only ever one who had any operational experience and understanding. He sadly left for greener pastures months ago.

Welcome Back!
For internal PPRuNe political reasons, you've been moved back in here whilst various decisions about the future structure of PPRuNe are taken.
I'll start by drawing to your attention to the moderating philosophy of this forum, which may be found HERE. We intend to police this philosophy aggressively, concentrating on this thread given the unfortunate history of these discussion in both the CC and D&G forums.
I would also like to offer some further guidance: This forum is intended to relate to discussions about the role and function of Cabin Crew. There is no doubt that Australian politics and union activities form an important background to your working lives, but the discussion of these subjects is not part of the remit of this forum. There are a variety of venues where you are free to establish discussions on these subjects, including MSN, MySpace and Yahoo! Groups - This forum is not one of them.
Finally, please note our views on abuse. For example, the above discussion on calling your UK colleagues "Chavs" may be at the cutting edge of Australian wit, but in truth, it does not advance your position one bit, and the intent behind the use of the word is to cause distress and to disparage. It is childish, and detracts from whatever position you may be taking.
Because of the history of QANTAS discussions in this forum, and elsewhere, I regard contributors as being on a final warning. No further notice or tolerance will be given, and those contravening PPRuNe rules and forum policy will be permanently banned: Offending posts will be deleted.
For the forum mods, this is a busy flying summer, and we just don't have the time or energy to p*ss about with delinquents: Wed Webbing Woop has already left us - please try and make him/her the last...
Thanks in anticipation.

Thankyou for taking the time to put up the rules and intentions of this thread. I'm aussie but find the abuse intolerable. In response to someone's 'chavs' talk about the UK crew, I put up here the real meaning of 'chavs' so that it would be clear to everyone why it's not nice to label people when misinformed. And thanks for moderating and being fair.

The excuse used for pulling out was that we didn't have the rights to operate daily and as such it was uneconomic.
Lobbying has been done but even if it is now possible I don't believe we have the hardware
Jetscar maybe??

as mentioned qf has not been able to negotiate daily services to paris. unless this changes and we can find some more aircrafts in Q, i recon J* may be the candidate.
looks like the A380 is even furthere delayed, as rumors get stronger that some of the A380 will go to J*.imagine 650 seats +. good luck.
Mel BM Sue & BNE BM Elliott have taken VR, mel CCM Andrew is taken up position as BM brisbane. Samantha is new BM in MEL.
QF wants to remove codeshare between BA/QF on the Fra services. another port gone down the track to J*.

as he said
Gd mentioned the J* Int. model is new has never been tried and lets hope for the best. can't really fail ,as there is plenty of money/resources diverted from Qf. He'll support it whatever the costs ( a bit like J*Asia).

Good research QCC2. Very interesting.
The problem is the punters perceive Jetstar to be cheaper and unfortunately alot of them wont do their homework and compare fares.
I have often randomly checked QF v's Virgin on a SYD-MEL flight and we (QF) are often cheaper. If you were to ask the average joe public who is cheaper hands down they would say Virgin.
Its all how we are perceived in the market place. Shame really.

qcc2,
Good point and yes it is an interesting business plan by old GD.Get the customer to pay more and give them less.
I suppose that is an extension of paying employees less and ask them to work more.
The next 12 to 18 months or so will certainly be interesting and and a lot of spectators will be watching to see how J* international does .
It is not a foregone conclusion as it's older brother J* Asia has not covered itself in glory by any means.
Does anyone know if J* has any plans for IFE or something similar.Maybe they will hire out ipods.
