I firmly believe that crew and the FAAA need to be pro-active in bringing about change to the current rostering system if there is going to be any sort of reasonable outcome for us!
Sitting back - letting the company come up with the changes and then having to try fight them is a recipe for disaster.
The whole environment we work in has changed - the chances of any permanent fulltime Australian based recruitment in the forseeable future are fairly low i reckon which means the whole seniority based system and seniority progression has stalled.
Looking at my diagnostics for the current bid period - at my seniority, i had available to me 3 x AFR04, 1 x BOM06 and 1 x BOM07. I got those 3 Africas - plus a hefty lowline - but I bet you can guess what trips were available to early close on!!
So change..... I'm all for it!!!
