There are about 1300 crew in the Sydney SH base. Approx 450 casuals.
There are approx 25 classes going through training up till May 2007 of 16/class. This is Australia wide.
The new F/A's are all contract C - minimum 85hrs/mth. Most are doing far more (like 130-140hrs).
How is the seniority system going to work when there is no new crew joining the ranks?
