The Austrian Airlines employee was concerned about the wage discrepancy between parent company Lufthansa and his own job. He hoped that both sides would recognize the need for a fair compensation and reach a compromise. Despite the demanding nature of the job, many young people quit after a few years due to financial constraints and limited public transportation options, making it difficult for the company to find long-term employees.
The high cost of living was a challenge for many colleagues, particularly those who relied on cars for transportation due to limited public transportation options. Some employees moved back in with their parents or had family members leave them at work due to financial difficulties. The Vida union’s demands for better meals and hotel facilities were seen as necessary by employees.
Physical fitness and proper rest were emphasized by flight attendants as essential components of their job performance. They had to stay in shape to perform their duties effectively, and facilities such as swimming pools were considered necessary to maintain physical health. Additionally, food availability and rest time were highlighted as challenges faced by employees that could affect their job performance and passenger safety.
In conclusion, the AUA employee emphasized the importance of adequate compensation, rest, and physical fitness in ensuring efficient job performance and ensuring the safety and well-being of passengers.
