Yeah they have, but where are they going to find the crews?
A mate of mine here in Europe with a shed load of 737 time has just gone there as DEC 777, this is not a joke.
Reciently (last few weeks at least) it has been quoted in the aviation media that if EK cant fill (fill or crew is a "grey area") all 45 of their Dugong's then they will lease them to other operators......
Do you really want to arrive at Mascot at 0600 with 850 of your favorite "Mick's & Sharon's" who have sunburn, hangovers and are wingeing about having to pay for a
VB and a pillow.
I reckon the AFP are going to get some really good footage for Australias funniest home videos at the immigration cue's!
Maybe it could be called BoganStar we can replace Magda with Uncle Arthur?
Getting back on subject, why bother to vary an EBA when the bird is going to be so late that it will be subject to an AWA shoved down your throat by the poison leprechaun.
