read the law
peg47 read the regs. and as any aviation lawyer will advise there is a case. having said that i agree it is a legal nightmare one that has not been tested or even tried to be tested. i agree to spend money on setting up a union overseas is more then difficult and may not serve the prupose (as you mentioned). however i maintain the position that legally ALL QF cabin crew work under casa regs (remember one of the questions in e.p's.) and its applicable rules and regs, regardless of base.
