Qantas QCCA Rosters -

Hi Guys

Rosters for period 258 have now been published. Interested to hear how the QCCA rosters are looking now that most of the flying has returned to LH. I must say I am pleasantly suprised with the variety of flying that i received. Most other people I have spoken to also have expressed positive comments about rosters.

Any other comments?

BP 258..Wow

I have been with QF for 25 years...for 20 of those years I have been a CSS.
This is the best roster I have ever ever had.
Did someone make a mistake?

I have LHR, FRA, LAX/JFK, SFO and a SIN and HKG. Pretty impressive. I guess all the Longtimers are doing Youth Day Charters with 90 hr FCO Slips.
Not a single red eye or JNB to be seen

OBVIOUSLY there were plenty of SFO, JFK, LHR and 3 day SIN, HKG trips left AFTER the bid run was generated............................

Whatever the reason was for the good roster patterns can't complain now. However, I guess all could change very quickly...

Just A Thought

When so much of our flying went to the Domestics people were forced to look at other types of flying...flying they found they liked.
Even though the flying has been returned Crew have stayed with their new choices.
This has in turn improved rosters for everyone.
Mix this with the enormous mount of promotion that has happened....seems most people are happy.
Anyway just a thought.

Just some lighthearted humour speedbird. Not a scathing attack.

Sorry, no criticism meant of you or your post.

Perhaps I should have placed this "" at the end of my post.

It seems "odd" to have so many of these highly desirable trips left over after the bid run as historically those at the bottom of the seniority lists have been left with nothing much other than Africas.

Many of these junior crew have had 5 or 6 years of nothing other than these trips being allocated to them.

Seems odd that's all..................

Begrudging Someone a Good Roster...Fark!!!

I have just scanned the FAAA website and I can't believe what I have just read.
Some absolute moron is upset that QCCA Crew are receiving good rosters.
Not only is this fool openly complaining about it(from SFO)but the person actually had the temerity and stupidity to write an email to the FAAA about it.
When someone receives a great roster(one they are happy with)I say good for them.
Pultroons who complain aboutsuch matters should be cast into the exterior darkness and booted out of the FAAA.
For all those QCCA crew who received a satisfactory roster I say good luck to you.
Not all QAL crew are as miserable as this stupid tosser.
Name the bastard and have him/her served with a clause 11 immediately.
I can only assume that this persons parents are first cousins

i thought it was careless of the FAAA to publish a letter like that, all it does is cause divisions.
As stated on here before, the vast majority of people are so happy about the QAL and QCCA situation.
The letter serves nothing but to self promote MM, i suppose he must still be out to impress the Q Powers, you have got the coat MM, just relax!
Does that mean he will actually fly!
It will be a shock after 8 years!

(By the way MM will be a good CSM, if h can be head of the FAAA and deal with all that crap he will be able to handle our "rough" crew)

I haven't met one person that has made a negative comment about QCCA getting good rosters, I say good on them there is plenty of work around.

Now all we have to do is get rid of the AKL base and there will be even more work around........

Dont know where you fly to or with but I have overheard some stupid comments regarding QCCA.made by some of our more senior(senile?)crew.Some of the usual suspects have made some remarks regarding seniority and the ability to do the job.
Some of these clowns have forgotten that they were once "newbies".
Mijatov was right to highlight the situation and prevent some more clause 11s being handed out to those who think they are bullet proof(or is that 100 proof?).

yeah some people MAY have made some silly remarks, but those people make the same remarks about all other FA's whether they be against BFirst or Y/C or the Onboard managers, their remarks are to be laughed off.

There was no need to send out a letter like that! although I must admit I did enjoy reading that Email from that tosser......

Amusing Letter

The letter was amusing because of its content not its intent.
Sounds like the same guy who rang operations from LHR and blasted them because there was no transport for him.
Ops checked and advised that he wasnt entitled to any.
The guy was on annual leave.
The morons in our midst..
MM was wise to publish the letter...if only for its entertainment value.

Good to see MM uses his time valuably.

That letter is a joke, I cannot beleive the FAAA are trying to cause threats or scare tactics against their own members.

You're getting paid to represent us, shut your face and speak when we ask you to speak.

QFLHA

You are not even a member of the FAAA so butt out.....

You havent paid a cent and clearly dont intend to. Run for office in four years if you have been a member for that long and paid your fees.

Otherwise keep posting here coz its the only place where you will ever have the guts or lack thereof to post your asinine views.

And if you are not a member you will never have a voice or be able to run for office.

It must be driving you nuts to be so "irrelevant" that you have to post here...

If you really feel strongly enough about it give mijatov a call on 83371111

of course you wont coz you are a weak as P**s piece of Scab material

QFLHFA & Pegasus747,
Calm down a bit boys and take another look at your posts.No wonder cabin Crew threads get banned.

Personally,I think it shows just how clever the company was to insist that the QCCA crew are on different pay and conditions to us.

It's human nature to be jealous of what others have and the proverbial 'Grass is always greener on the other side of the fence' could not be more true.The new crew will always be wishing they had our conditions and I can't blame them.The result is that we will always be 2 groups and that is exactly what the company wants.

Feel free to play right into their hands boys and fight with each other and finish the job the company started.
Give the company the outcome they want and that is a divided workforce.

Well

From my experiences I have shown my QCCA roster to many of the QLH crew and they have been nothing but ecstatic and happy for me. Why you ask?? Because all QLH rosters improved, as did QCCA rosters.

As for the letter the FAAA placed in their recent email, i believe that it actually has caused more tension between QLH and QCCA crew. The views of the senile individual who wrote this email is a personal view, however I believe alot of crew are reading it as the views of QLH crew in general. Hopefully it wont cause too much damage.
