I agree rather have Elmo as a CSM... can imagine those Domestic CSM's doing that on an a380 *close the door close the door* brief the overwings! quick quick! *taps the watch repeatedly while crew scurry to close overhead lockers* it amusing enough watching them get used to the a330 again
On a L/H flight seated in J class, you have your pre take off champers and then wait for no less than an hour whilst the crew are chatting and having a coffee before the next drink......................less gossip more service please.
On S/H flights the service starts around 10 mins after the seat belt sign is extinguished.

jeez! mustn't be an EBA up for renegotiation any time soon!? I'll bet your managers are noting your discontent with other work groups, only to use it against you next time around.
If a long haul crew struggle to do a service in 3hrs - it's because they mainly operate long haul sectors - and they're being put on those flights to industrially intimidate you short haul folk.
Likewise, if short haul crew are found lacking on longer flights (as they sometimes are), it's because they are trained to serve on shorter flights - it's again only used against you.
Pull your heads in! After a decade of 'divide and conquer' IR techniques - you'd think you'd all learn that both SH and LH can prosper together!?
*stares in amazement*
To quote my favourite line from Muriel's Wedding:
Wake up to yourself!
The FAAA can't fight for opposing interests.
Either start a new union - or learn to fight as one!

The recruitment for A380 OBM's was for a "HOLD" list not for actual positions. Since recruitment opened, the company also opened up the opportunity for crew in Long Haul to transfer within category therefore that will effect the current recruitment program and rightly so if current OBM's wish to go the A380. There is only 1 aircraft arriving before the end of the year and the crew for that aircraft are being moved within category. A further 3 aircraft will arrive before March next year but this always changes as more aircraft were suppose to arrive before the end of this year and they have been delayed slightly. Some OBM's have or will be returning to long haul as their 2 years are up but that small number is apparentley being replaced with the transfer of exisiting QCCA OBM's.
So in short I dont think anyone really knows actual numbers as there are so many other factors which will influence the final numbers required. But as noted the current recruitment is for a hold list only.

You seem to know what is happening with aircraft deliveries more than our CEO. These are his quotes from a press release on 14 Sept
"Six Qantas A380s are currently in service. A seventh aircraft will arrive later this year, with the fleet growing to 12 by mid-2011, and to 20 in 2015/16."
