eden, guardians and the pack!
well I like a 1000 other people attended the meetings and it was clear what was needed and agreed with the rest of the membership.
The Fin review article in the last few paragraphs did not reflect this view, we understood it to mean that MM had already conceded that existing LH crew would have to accept lower wages and longer hours! without even having started the negotiations!
Now regarding the horizontal crew rest 330, of course we know that it doesn't currently exist, but that is not to say that QF can put one in just like the SP.
I have done the AKL/LAX/AKL on the 747300 without horizontal rest and its horrendous, the fatigue factor is incredible. MM hasnt as he hasnt flown for 8 years!
So when will the FAAA put out a letter to the membership advising them of their decision not have the horizontal crew rest on this a/c!
