See the new pattern the cabin crew have got.
HKG-RUH-BAH(PX)-HKG(PX) a casual 23:10 duty stuck on a plane.
There's a second one too going the other way around I believe.

If only pilots could get CX to reply with such haste.

We are not the face of the airline, if you think the flying public may lack sympathy for the cabin crew now, as the economy is tough. They could not care less for us, even during a healthy economy. Face facts, the job we do up front is not a game changer, considering the fact that many of our asian colleagues do the same job for less money around the region. The fact that we are a safer, more professional and better trained(checked) group is lost on the flying public. until one ends up in a ball of fire of course, but folks don't think like that.
FOP has the lion share of the budget, fuel is our biggest cost. Flight duties are rostered to within minutes of FDP limits.It wont take much to make a big impact on the bottom line. We don't need to stand there with our pants down, it wont work. Most of us lack a set of balls any how and the public won't give a toss. We need leadership,direction and a determination to change. Depending how you look at it, we hold none of the cards, or we hold all the cards. We just need to know which ones to play.

Think Surabaya - HK.
Think Singapore to Jakarta
They could not care less for us,
What is the reason behind the lack of rank tabs, ties and hats when travelling to work? Is that CX policy? All I see in the morning is a bunch of mormon missionaries and double glazing salesmen disapearing into the back door of Kitty City.
Raise your profile, then you may get some sympathy.
Best of luck ladies and gents. Nothing wouldn't gladden the heart of this aviator any more than to see you all fighting your corner for a change.

Flight attendants tie up deal with Cathay
Cathay Pacific flight attendants and the airline have stuck a deal ending their pay tussle and other issues.
This followed protracted discussions between the two parties and had threatened to disrupt Christmas and New Year flights.
The Flight Attendants Union chairwoman Dora Lai Yuk-sim said today the deal also involves changes to flight patterns and work conditions.

Well they do get at least 20 hours off before and a G after a night turn, a guarantee of only 1 rostered a month and 5 Gs for doing a 3 day Oz, and 2 nights in RUH to recover, so what have the AOA got us? Oh, and their reserve has a clock start time and I bet credit hours. All without expensive "Labour Specialists" on the payroll.

Its the AOA GC, why don't they propose contract compliance over this as well as 25yr housing.
When letters get ignored make threats rather than doing NOTHING.
I expect there would be lots of guys willing. Its the leadership of the AOA that baffles me, not its members.
