MAM and 747's

[Teaorcoffee]

Does MAM Qantas operate on 747's?

Or will they in the future with QF introducing more routes in 2008?

Thank you.

Sorry in advance I couldn't find a MAM thread that hadn't been closed.

A friend of mine is a MAM'er and fly's on 747 from BNE to SIN... they were trained on A330doors aswell.... Singapore used to be part of long-haul divisoin but its now "short haul/regional (as pac)" division.

MAM'ers also fly to Narita

No MAM Casual flys on 747's from any base. They are trained on A330, 767, 737. There is, of course, the rumour that SH will be trained on the Classics (747-300).

flights to Singapore are also operated by Long Haul crew - on the 747. Actually all 747 flights are LH crew. Smartalec your friend is telling you porkies

Well that was a conclusive answer.

Thanks for the replies anyway

It is Jumbo Time!!

Expect it.

With L/H EBA coming up I suspect history will repeat itself.

Anyone got more detail??

ill guess the only ones not doing jumbo time shall be the gifted ones who went to perth................formula, starve staff of max work! offer jumbo time as a favour cause no work!.........stop stop work and or strike!, mission done advise said strike breakers if any problems tell big bro! thanks for coming!........what a great way to run a company any company names guessed here??????????? WHEN CAN S/HAUL FULL TIME N CASUAL F/AS JOIN LONG HAUL UNION??????????????????

[casualvermin]

Imagine if we had a union that looked after our interests instead of casual commission. Go on MM, represent all in QF uniform. Let F/A's have a choice.

if you believe johney boys adverts cv, its all about work place choices.......take it or leave it!

Hear hear........

I know this is a mam thread but it relates to 747. Did the union give dispensation for short haul to operate Jo'burg??? YUCK Is this out of Sydney or Perth??????? Rumor is short haul on 747 by Jan 08, anyone from qcc spilling the beans?

[lowerlobe]

galleyslag..Is this a wind up?

For S/H to get JoBurgs they would have to be trained on the 400's....Have they been trained ..I don't think so

The L/H EBA is currently being negotiated,this is either a wind up or just another company scare tactic?
