Syd based SH crew are doing more LH flying now... More than LH. These include. Bejing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore, Manila (going though), Jakarta, Auckland and my personal favourite - Mumbai (going to Mel base next month). Wrong...
The C Contract people are being worked like dogs and they are already feeling the effects apparently. Sick Leave is going up.
BTW, Mel base seems to have a bit more flying than BNE... could change though.
