yes they are still on holidays.
MM states that he cant fly as he needs to be near the office in case "something happens" yet the FAAA office is closed from the 22 dec till who knows when?
Why has the FAAA office been closed for so long, they are always getting upset because QF claim to be a 24 hour airline and all its staff should be available yet they seem it appropiate to close down for 10 plus days.
