Sydney S/H,
As far as the cap increasing I don't have any firm information but I would not bet any money that it won't .The company would certainly love to lower costs especially with fuel the way it is and that is why I suggested a "B" pay scale as a way of preventing L/H going the way of the dinosaurs.
The VR package has to be in this afternoon at 5pm and there will be more than a few crew working out the pro's and con's over whether to take it not I imagine
QCC2,As far as CASA is concerned time will tell but I think there are always a lot of backroom politics being played in relation to anything that may cost the company any more.
When I was in LAX a few weeks ago lining up for the security screening for the JFK shuttle I was talking to an American F/H .Interestingly she said it was illegal for them to do a tour of duty such as we were.Shen then asked about what happens when an extension to that TOD was asked for .I told her we would hold a vote and if it was unanimous then we might or might not do the extended TOD.She looked in amazement and I asked if they did not hold votes in their airline and she said yes they did but it was not unanimous ,if one crew member voted NO then the whole crew voted NO....
Have you emailed Mr Byron and if you did ,what did he say?
