Stop complaining

Air NZ also operate 3 man ULH on some sectors, but it then increases their rest requirements at the outport. Air France do the same.

Incidently, we need to take on board the planned company expansion. They do not have enough crews right now as it is. It is very obvious that to move forward the company will require 3 man ULH, age 65, and an increase in monthly hours before overtime.

Read your latest HKAOA newsletter, and take on board what they are saying. Do not answer your phone on G days. Do not agree to working on G days. And if you end up fatigued as a result of taking reduced rest or extended flight patterns then you are legally obligated to call in sick and contact an AVMED. There is no excuse for finding yourself working as a result of answering the phone on your day off, and if you do then you have no right to be complaining about pay, conditions or anything else !!!

This is serious stuff. As a result of the crew shortages they now have to bend the rules to crew the aircraft, and they are relying on your help. Your conditions are now being further eroded, as a result of you helping them out !!! Stand up for yourselves and make a difference.
