Unfortunately, the INTENT of the EBA is irrelevant if the clauses in question do not actually state that duties should be offered to staff on days off before drafting occurs. The only conditions the company must meet before resorting to drafting cabin crew are:
1 All reallocatable flight attendants have been utilised.
2 All reserve flight attendants have been utilised.
3 A new duty has been rejected by a flight attendant.
I don't understand how you can be so passionate about an issue which bears no relation to you personally.
