The negotiations are about rostering rules.
So most of the above arguments can be disregarded if anyone wants to get the discussion back on track.
Possibly one of the sticking points would be 2 crew back of the clock night sectors back from Asia. HK, China and Japan are all within the range of the XLR to anywhere in Australia.
Is an alternative of a 3 crew crew operation for the longest sectors with a business seat rest being proposed?
What do competitors like JAL, ANA, the Chinese carriers and Cathay do? I believe all flying from that far north is widebody only at the present time.
It may be argued that if a competitor is doing 2 crew BOC in a widebody what’s the difference to doing it 2 crew in a narrowbody as you won’t need a bunk.
