Sorry Leanne7 I was being silly.
VB plan to be flying to LA in the next year or so. I was making a little jab because they seem to be trying to extend our duty hours with the promise that domestic crew will be able to fly longhaul as well - one division rather than two. Thats all excellent and very exciting, but as Sinala1 says we need to sign our EBA on the basis of our current operations as opposed to any future uncertainties. Many crew feel we were mislead last time because they were offering us 'international' in the EBA and then all the international flying went to a NZ company. It's a trust thing which many of us have little of at the moment.
And you a right - the LA trip would be much easier on the body than syd-per-adl-mel.
