11/12 days off is already a very luxury deal no one else in Australia have.
How is it a luxury when you are constantly rostered 10-13+ hours a day when you are at work? When trips start early on day one and finish late on the last day going through a bunch of time zones? We are also lower paid compared to Jetstar and QF. So it's all a bit of a compromise not necessarily "luxury".

yet this current 12/13 DDOs arrangement has always been a temporary measure induced by COVID.
Where does it say that in the contract? I don't remember anything about it being "temporary".

Personally I think we should call the company's bluff keep 12 DDO and give back drafts. Force their hand to sort out their crewing issues once and for all or alternatively they give them back to us for nothing and keep 12 DDO because that's the only way they can run the airline.
