Thats great Pegasus ,
So you want us to hop down to the FAAA bunker to have a muffin and a skinny latte while you tell us how difficult the company has it.You want to tell us that we can't be too hard on the company and we have to keep a balanced approach which means that we give in all the time As USUAL.
The company screws up time and again and continually has a shot at us and all you want to do is turn the other cheek.
As I have menioned before you are more of an asset to Kevin Brown than his own department.

Get with the Programme
I was in LAX, visited the crew website,saw the ad for 75% roster,downloaded the form and faxed it in.
Voila!
I dont live near the airport..but hey looks like I will be doing 75% of a roster.
You just need to be on the ball

"Management Screw Workers" by Kev Brown
A senior Qantas manager was today caught coitus interruptus on the photo-copying machine during office hours with an unknown PA. As a result the Board has agreed to pay the old satyr a performance bonus.

Surfside,
Just as I said those who live within 5 km’s of the jetbase and THOSE WHO ARE FRIENDS OF THE FAAA will have no problem applying for something that had little more than 24 hours notice…..surfside's OK but stuff everyone else.
You just need to be on the ball……nice one
The company and the FAAA in their latest newsletter have advised crew that they should every check the crew or FAAA website every 12 hours to avail themselves of the latest developments.
A joint spokesperson for the company and the union said today that if crew wanted to have a life outside of flying and actually wanted to enjoy life then they have no one to blame except themselves.They should ring scheduling,the union or check online every 12 hours so as not to miss out on anything vital.
Imagine how many computers the company and the union would have to install worldwide just so that crew can “Get with the programme” as Surfside has told us.
How many of our hotels have rec club computers?
How long would the wait be for a computer if we checked as often as this?
What about crew on holidays or just enjoying their slip or home time without logging onto a computer just so that they take Surfside's advice and be on the ball........ Thanks Surfside for your careing and invaluable advice...Thanks for nothing
This is just another example of how much the company and the FAAA really care about crew!!!!!!!

You are not a happy little camper are you Lobey?
Ever heard of internet cafes or hotel business centres.
It takes thirty seconds to check the website.
I dont live near the airport and I hardly ever visit the base(except to go to work)thanks to the internet...its invaluable.

Capt Cynical,
for you to comment on SH being "dobbers" re the whole onboard "ralph" incident just goes to show you know actually nothing about the story.
Keep your stupid comments to yourself if you don't know the whole and true story.
I actually do know excatly what occured onboard. Dobbing had nothing to do with it.
Don't believe everything you read.

Dobbing
Dobbing amongst the domestics is encouraged to the point where its become an art form.
This girl seems well able to take care of herself.
A couple of domestics may well bear the brunt of slander lawsuits.
Unfortunately,due to the transfer system it has crept into Longhaul.
Oh and JFTR...the domestics have not taken over ALL NRT trips.They will do the NRTs out of MEL and the QF 135/36 out of Sydney for 2 BPs.
Longhaul will continue to do QF21/22 and the flying ex PER to NRT.

What would you know about the incident and slander lawsuits. Ummm...Nothing.
By the way...our division is called Shorthaul.
When you fly to more international destinations than us then let me know.

Been There..Done that
Athens,Rome,Paris,New York,London,Bahrain,Amsterdam,Belgrade,San Francisco,Osaka,Sapporo,Nagoya,Bombay,Tahiti,Fiji,Los Angeles,Frankfurt,Vancouver,Buenos Aires,Johannesburg,Harare,Seoul,Hanoi,Honolulu.....to name just a few.Holidayed in most of them...slipped in all of them for a lot longer than you could even imagine.
The great days of flying are over...you are merely getting the scraps...which of course you are entitled to.
You are a pretender ..nothing more but a whole lot less.
In Longhaul we look after each other.
If the incident with Mr. Fiennes had occurred on a Longhaul crew it would never have been heard about.
The flings that Longhaul crew have had with celebrities are legion but have been kept in house.
Its known as discretion and is consistent with a higher level of sophistication than is displayed in the domestic arena of aviation in this country.
Also in life you get what you pay for...pay cheap...get cheap.
That is the one and the only reason domestics fly to SOME of these destinations...they are not better...... just cheaper.
Domestics...proud to be cheap

Arghhh...the good old days...blah blah blah.
Well you dont fly to many of those destinations anymore. Why?
Get out of the past and move on (out the door in your case). Should have taken the VR package when you had a chance.

An Opportunity...Wasted
With an economy running at full tilt and unemployment at historical lows now is a perfect opportunity to negotiate for "higher"(not lower) wages.
Unfortunately many have not recognized this and have allowed themselves to become the 21st Century "pit ponies".
They will be unable to participate fully in the opportunities available to others due largely to their reduced disposable income.
With hindsight everything becomes crystal clear.
Those who are proud to be "cheap" have been deceived.
They have allowed themselves to become disposable units of work.
George Orwell was right.

Common denominator
What is the common denominator at the moment?
THE TOILET
Its Management #101....... down the toilet.
1.First we have Blanket Boy alledgedly flushing down Blankets.-Toilet
.............2.Now comes our esteemed Robocop alledgedly working on Schindlers List-Toilet.
Maybe,we should change the name of the Crew Mag from THE SOURCE to
THE TOILET
We might just read it then.

Instead, you're gradually changing the name of PPRuNe to a toilet!!! Would everybody please calm down. Half of the recent posts have been created to demonstrate your own wit, and the rest your own prejudice.
Take a deep breath, and thne try again.

These are the sorts of prejudices that split the FAAA. Its the old emnities manifiesting itself.
The challenge of getting Long Haul And short Haul flight attendants to be united would need a significant change of attitude among some crew not a change in leadership in either division of the FAAA.
There is currently good will among the elected officials to keep the discussions on re-amalgamation going. Now that the new head of the domestic division has taken office after returning from London the talks will no doubt continue.
Many hope in time for a joint approach to the upcoming EBA's

Everyone seems to be the talking about the alleged perpetrators of a lewd act on an QF flight
I would want to know who the dobber is, Who is the small minded person whom thought they would make a name for themself by going into print?
That is whom I would want to know about, so at least I would be alert to this persons propensity to do the Un-Australian thing and dob.
Keep your guard up
Anybody care to hint via ryhming similes' ?

Pegasus,
Firstly , in relation to the S/H FAAA you tell us … ……..
“Or they could just do what the domestic division does...NOTHING about ANYTHING”..
Then you tell us……..
“The challenge of getting Long Haul And short Haul flight attendants to be united would need a significant change of attitude among some crew NOT A CHANGE IN LEADERSHIP in either division of the FAAA.
There is currently good will among the elected officials to keep the discussions on re-amalgamation going”……
Personally I don’t think that there will be much good will between the two groups after that quote.
Or the possibility of an amalgamation for that matter if the current FAAA leadership is in place.

Firstly Bolty McBolt, aren't you an engineer? If you are there is a very good chance you wouldn't even know the crew members involved.
And secondly, for you to attack the crew members involved when you don't even know the real story is stupid.
I'm not going into detail here but i can assure you that it wasn't a matter of crew members lined up at the toilet door waiting to bust them coming out of the toilet like it has been portrayed in the press.
