The vote is I guess is to be mailed out ,however I hope that it will be organised throught the AEC as the election ballots are instead of just a faaa mail out.

One of the other points the faaa raised is the fatigue issue

The so called fatigue study (although the faaa has never produced any documentation) was supposedly been done by the same specialist who is working on a fatigue study for the tech crew union (AIPA).

A number of tech crew are required to wear a device that measures some body functions such as body temperature etc…as well as listing how much sleep they get and at what times (related to Sydney time and local time) and these figures are being compiled over a reasonable amount of time, It is at least 18 months but I think it is more like 2 years and still continuing .

How many cabin crew were involved in our study and over what period of time? The quick answer and you can ask the faaa but as far as I know it is zero crew and zero weeks let alone years. So the question has to be asked, what did the specialist base his findings on???? Probably the pattern book, so it is not what I would call an exhaustive scientific study and yet the faaa claims he has said that there is no reasonable fatigue.


Has he done a shuttle ????


I would like the faaa to publish his report!


VOTE NO....
