Most of the Cargo guys cannot just walk away as you suggest because they are still under bond and I doubt if it would cut any ice with SQ Management that they should let the guys off their bond because they are not getting their S$7000 per month allowances.
Yes I too lost my crew bunk to the then Senior Minister on a Double Crew Long Haul Flight to Europe. I was called by crewing and asked if i minded giving it up and was told I could take a First Class seat for my rest instead.Rather than cut off my nose to spite my face I agreed as otherwise I would no doubt have been taken off the flight and given 5 days Standby and lose at least $2000 in productivty and allowances,even more if i was into overtime.
Despite what B744 Local says I do not want to fly just 45 hours a month and nor does anyone else I know.
