How sad, One of the consolations of the mad dash from Melbourne to Sydney and the CYC on Christmas day afternoon used to be the odd shapely flight attendant with elves hat and Christmas decoration ear rings.

How sad indeed. The odd shapely flight attendant is now replaced by a gruff grinch, greeting the passengers on Christmas Day with a Bah Humbug!

Welcome to QANTAS 2009 and beyond.

I wonder what the 90th birthday year of QANTAS will hold and how it will be celebrated.

Anyway, to all those posters on pprune, you all have yourselves a very merry and safe Christmas and we'll see you all back in 2010.

Cheers

What a joke! I'm not working on Christmas day this year thanks to the downturn and long service leave but I did have my Santa suit ready to go. I was going to operate the entire day dressed as Santa. I'd even put a spare set of wings and rank slides on the suit. Getting a revised ASIC to include my white beard was going to be the hard part!

I would think anyone flying on Christmas day would think it strange if the crew didn't acknowledge Christmas in some way! I think not having anything Christmasy on the crew will detract from public perception more than ensuring everyone has their oneworld badge on the correct side of their uniform! :ugh:

I'm working - with Chrissie Tie and hat!:ok:
"They'' can get stuffed!:E

Gosh..How/Why are Qantas short of Resources?
 

We're looking for additional crew - can you help?
-------------------------------------------------

Due to resources becoming increasingly tight over the past few days, if you're willing to work on 24 and 25 December 2009
or any other days, please call Operations. If you're on Annual or Long Service Leave you may elect to have your leave
recredited.

Best wishes for the festive season and I look forward to working with you in the coming year.
