EK making decisions based on crew requirements, thanks, I haven’t had a good laugh like that for a long time!
Its not for the “benefit” of the crew....
And yes EK do make decisions based on crew requirements. By that I mean relevant COVID rules in respective countries. It’s why we don’t do layovers in HK for example. A lot of other destinations were long turnarounds for the same reason. Had nothing to do with whether the crew were happy.
The ONLY difference between Australian destinations is the crew testing requirements.
