it took them long enough, brilliant

Rumour is that there is going to be allocated a certain percentage of QCCA crew members on flights. Is this possible within EBA 8?

No, not possible as QCCA must be allocated their trips after we have bid.

Could patterns be built which aren't legal to QANTAS crew but legal to QCCA?

No.

Thats not to say that scheduling wont try and get some of the newbies to do things that those with a few more years would know automatically, to be illegal.

biscuit chucker, if you are a member of the FAAA you would have received their email with links to the bid books.

Guys.. I am looking for some info on the Qantas carriers... are the pilots for Qantas, JetConnect, and JetStar all on the same seniority list? Do they fly together or separately?

Is there any ill-feelings from Qantas guys towards the JetStar pilots? I am considering applying to JetStar but want to make sure I am not going to limit myself forever from flying with the rest of the Qantas group.

Any info would be appreciated. I am currently a Captain on the Embraer 145 in the USA. My wife is from NZ/OZ and we are hoping to move her closer to home.

Thanks again,

Ryan

Also any info about working conditions for pilots in Australia would be welcome. Do you guys have a strong Union? How does it work with the contract guys... are they contract to hire and then they are part of the QF pilot group?

Thanks!

gee I didnt know that you could suspend payments to the FAAA when you are on leave, next time I get allocated LSL or any leave I will also suspend my membership.

While I understand that to the new crew these may be new destinations the fact is that we used to fly to these and many more...

Under the leadership of Darth and Jimmy Bow Tie the airline has progressively reduced it's network to a shadow of it's former self...

Ignore the troll.

He is no troll and EVERYTHING he posted is true.

Isn't it ?

Whilst it me be true, this is not the place for rehashing the same old "I hate Darth" rhetoric.
We have managed to keep some civility in these threads by avoiding going down this emotional path, so may I suggest we ignore Lobe and his trip down memory lane.

Where did he say, "I hate Darth" ????

He didn't, you did.

Try and remember Twiggs that this isn't the office.

Sycophancy counts for little in the real world.

My point is just to keep the thread on track.
Things are very positive at the moment and we don't need reminders of the bads times gone.
If you (speedbird) want to support your old mate (lobe) then you will find this thread closed like the others that he has sent down that path.

twiggs
Lobe made some valid points.
Why should he be ignored.
You sound like one those bloody born again "things" that go around pretending the world is fine, in the meantime you just bury your head in the sand.
Oh and another thing about the born "again" is that they are usually the meanest and most hypocritical people that exist!
So don't tell me or anyone else who I should put on the ignore list, its still a free forum and I will decide what to do.

Who is Lowerlobe trying to support in his post?

Your statement in reference to his post is completely nonsensical.

He made an unemotional AND factual statement that you couldn't stomach just because he used the words, "Darth" and "Jimmy Bow Tie"??????

You seem to have lost the plot.:}

Sorry Speedbird and Cartexchange and other genuine Cabin Crew.....

I did not intend to start or provoke anything however, it's no surprise to see who reacted to my post ....The office does not like any adverse comments do they?

In fact, the reason for my post was that I had seen this thread and then later saw on eBay an old map showing our routes of the 60's and 70's and compared to today's destinations was a glorious reminder of another era...

Although I'm at a loss at the description by Twiggs of this era when she referred to them as :confused:

It's great to see all the new employment of long haul crew and you talking about going back to Rome even if only for some charters and I fervently hope that the company will expand and you get some new destinations that will make the job even better....

Cheers
LL

Thank you lobe for clarifying your intent.

No need for an apology LL.

Balanced minds don't have hissy fits.
