Had to laugh at your last posts.... Bad Adventures and Hawk eye
You are both right about travel thicknesses post. He does assume only senior crew with family responsibilities should and would be protected.... an interesting assertion, but incorrect.
Junior people have family too. It's good a debate has been initiated in this forum as suggested by Guardian1. It's interesting to see people's arguments.
Not far from anyones arguments is the fact that self interest plays a huge factor, and this is natural from both sides of the argument.
There is one factor, that cannot be dismissed and that is the operation of the bid system in the current situation of no recruitment (and twiggs its been 4 years now not 2 years since there was recruitment in L/H and similarly in S/H recruitment is basically casuals only) is highly unfair towards a significant and what now is a majority of crew.
There will be official FAAA reaction following the outcome of the challenge against the rostering provisions of the S/H EBA certification.
Nothing will be said officially for the moment so as to not prejudice in any way the proceeedings in the Commission.
For those interested, the hearing of the S/H EBA certification will be 9.30 AM,Tuesday 4th April in the Commission at 80 Williams St in Sydney.
The hearing will be a public hearing and any interested person from cabin crew ranks in either S/H or L/H can attend or from the general public can attend to witness the proceedings.
