So what sort of leave are you referring to that people are supposedly being forced onto for 3 months at a time?

The only way a minimum can be an average is if all values are the minimum, ie all crew have 18 days off, no more.

It was your idea to exemplify it as multiples.
You chose the 4 day LAX example to cry about how little rest we get in a slip port in the same breath as saying we only get 18 days off a roster.
So why then can't I use your own example to disprove your spin?

Try smiling when you are evacuating 300 people from a burning aircraft after a terrain impact.
It may not be in the job description but it is certainly assumed that service industry staff smile whether they are happy or not.
Mate, if you are evacuating 300 people from a BURNING aircraft then I don't think anyone will mind if you don't smile. Funny though, don't think it's ever happened at Qantas (BURNING that is), and that is good enough reason to smile.
