EDITOR’S<br />
NOTE<br />
Welcome to the <strong>2021</strong> Spring Edition of the Silent Review,<br />
your cabin crew magazine.<br />
In this edition we honour a remarkable person, Arthur Mansour. Many of us know<br />
Arthur from flying and more so from his position in the EP department. Arthur has<br />
many skills and this article outlines how much more there is to that smiling face he<br />
so often parades.<br />
As we phase out of lockdown into “return to flying," it is important we understand<br />
the legislation related to contracting Covid in the workplace. We welcome Michael<br />
Hyland, the FAAA associated legal expert, on all matters Workers Compensation and<br />
in particular contracting Covid at work. Michael talks in detail about what transpired<br />
when flying was being wound back in March 2020 as the pandemic was declared.<br />
Learn what we can expect in relation to this going forward.<br />
Our very own councillor, Benjamin Parker writes about Enterprise Bargaining<br />
Agreements (EBAs) and explains a little more about them in detail. Ben’s article<br />
covers a broad scope of industrial law items, which is important to understand as<br />
this relates to our job as cabin crew.<br />
There is a great article on our extremely well respected ex-CSM Sam Barripp who<br />
took VR and moved into a new world of customer service and hospitality.<br />
Plus, the FAAA business directory along with other discounted offers throughout<br />
the magazine.<br />
Last of all, the cover page was a creative contribution by our very own QCCA<br />
councillor and editor, Sarah de Wilt.<br />
Enjoy the read and welcome back!<br />
Lou Nesci and Sarah de Wilt<br />
