I can understand you are embarrassed to have accusations made about laziness with the akl base. Unfortunately, it has become so prevalent it does not go un noticed by the crew that work with these individuals.
Unfortunately its not addressed by these crews for fear of being accused of being anti-basing against a base.
The problem is exascerbated by those individuals who work hard eventually go to airNZ(sooner rather than later) rather than continue with longer hours and no award.
If Singapore get rights across the pacific not only do we not have the numbers of crew to compete 747 against 747, we have a morale problem as well.
