Twiggs,
Your quote… “In the delay in question, one option PRESENTED to the crew was to take minimum rest in Narita and get home as scheduled, and the duty was to be treated as a continuous one (lots of overtime), from sign on in MEL till sign off in SYD.
IT WAS only an option GIVEN, not a request, and was probably declined as the crew in question did not consider that amount of rest to warrant the extra money or the fact that they would probably get home a day late.
The S/H crew THAT were called out, paxed to NRT had 12 hrs off and operated back to SYD, slightly easier than if the L/H crew had operated a delayed service, had less than 12 hrs off, and then operated back to SYD”
Twigs………Your post seems to be extraordinarily well informed and would certainly indicate a source from within the office.
Not that I am inferring anything and any resemblance OF YOURSELF to an office employee is purely coincidental I’m sure………and you wonder why some people have doubts about you...don't tell me your last cab driver has a next door neighbour who has a brother who works in scheduling
