Another interesting point is how the company is not allowing any cross crewing to occur between the 2 bases (LHR & SYD). With the current long slips in SIN and HKG for the London base crew it is easily avoided as they can utilise the crew on long slips and turn them around. However next year with the termination of the QF15/QF16 out of SIN and the QF29/QF30 going daily out of HKG, London base crew will all be on minimum slip times. So I ask, how will they cover sickness in these ports (SIN/HKG) by the London base crew if they are not going to use Sydney based crew??
Any thoughts?
