this post wil get the goat up of some senior folk, but to start with let me say it is
my opinion only.

If crew want to have more choice then clearly some would lose choice
that is the whole point, why should some crew get all the choice? It would be better to have most getting
some choice, then a
handfull getting all the choice, and the majority getting none.
again (and this will be the one that everyone will go me on - but so be it
)
If they cap short trips it could mean that ppl with children who both fly may not be able to keep flying. Or people engaging in external education may not be able to attend.
if capping would come in, then crew would have to decide which is more important to them children/ study or their destinations. Harsh but true. Why should the majority suffer because of senior crews' personal life 'issues' ? Seriously.
This job is NOT suited to the mothers' club, and seriously, why should those of us suffer just cos we dont have kids or study??
And no I will not accept being penalised just to suit those seniors who want to be selfish by keeping a job that doesnt suit parenthood.
All destinations should be capped and evenly shared every roster, this would give a much fairer and even distribution to all involved.
I am happy for annual leave, days off, etc to stay on seniority, but why should destinations be exclusive to those who are senior ? What difference is having a 4 day JNB to a parent than having a 4 day HNL ??? Please explain (if parenthood is the
main concern?).
Bring it on !
