Today they have announced a leave reduction, temp part-time and limited VR program for SH. On the same piece of paper they list days where LH have been called in to cover shortages in planned SH patterns and that SYD open time is to cover PER shortages... All this when we are told PER and SH generally is over crewed yet they recruit Contract C (85 hour min) casuals like there is no tomorrow.
What the?! 
Pardon me for being a ditz but I don't see ANY method in this madness. Can anyone enlighten me?
Also anyone know
how the VR at LH will be awarded? I met a CSM in SIN the other day who was very excited about the prospect of leaving after 34 years.
