Leane7,
Thanks for the info on the AKL base numbers.I would not worry about the overseas cap as the faaa almost certainly would also do nothing about it either
Even if the company doubled the number in AKL ,I doubt that the company would have the numbers to take us off the US trips.Especially when you consider that the attrition rate on the other side of the pond is horrendous and think about how many crew are currently being used to operate LA's with the JFK shuttle not to mention the new SFO's with the YVR shuttles.I'm fairly sure that there are more than 360 rooms a night used at the misadventure alone.
Again it would appear that the faaa has done what it is best at and that is capitulating.The 3 stooges led by Ben Dover really out think Darth at every turn.They organise a small increase in the LA allowance to let us think they are looking after us and really it was the company who wins again
