no offence intended darls, but we at longhaul have done that particular sector for years .... on the 767 .... same issues. Maybe if shorthaul didnt want it they shouldnt have voted for it? Sorry, but as you guys are cheaper you will get those long ones was you at shorthaul that voted up the ability for the company to make you do it! Again no offence - but if you want to whinge, then do it to your union!

The SIN-DRW-ADL-SYD sectors were always very popular (senior) with longhaul crew .... it was always a very short trip with very high hours ... one of those 'three- day- beauts' a fortnight and your roster was done

As far as removing crew rest from ALL aircraft? Well, I would love to see QF spending the $$$$$ removing the o/head crew rest on the 744. It is too expensive for QF to go through the cost of CASA reporting/ modification approval just to remove the ashtrays from outside the loos on our planes!!!!! ... let alone removing a whole area containing 8 bunks and assoicated equipment.

A wind- up , this thread is
