I'm wondering if the difference is that Qantas UK and Jetconnect are covered under a different agreement, and are potentially being prioritised so that the company has the option of operating the smaller aircraft (ie: A330) on long haul routes, using London and NZ base crew who don't have the same crew rest requirements such as lie down bunks required in their agreement and can be put on shorter rest periods? After all, it's a business..
I'm sure there's people on here that know more than me though so feel free to disagree or share your thoughts.
Appreciate the input and the conversation while we wait patiently and stay positive..
