But as it stands why would anyone leave the 787 or a 320 fo base in ADL or CNS to take a Sydney command?
I have never understood the whole commuting thing. Someone takes a command in Sydney or any other base but for some reason they want to live else where and expect the company to help with their commuting needs, sure the rostering could be better for that but then, why should the guys in the base be somewhat disadvantage for a commuter. Take a command but expect to be in the base the command is.
As it stands 1500hrs company time or equivalent (capturing QF group) and two cyclics should capture anyone who has been in the company (group) 18 or more months. Currently we don’t have that now. Company have made it clear that DEC will happen unless the guys who have the 1500 company time are prepared to come to Sydney.
