With the reduction of crew on the -800 saving over $20 Million over the life of the agreement; the increase of seats on some -800s to 189 (and still operating at only 4 crew - even though, as mentioned above, the standard CASA requirement would have been for 6); the reduction of overnights; and the decrease in overnight payments, hotel costs and transport costs - there is going to want to be a lot of give to counter all the take!
Not to mention savings with sick leave, annual leave and long service leave entitlements, and superannuation.

I would like to know where our union was when this 4 crew on an 800 was presented.
