Crew Customs Lines in Australian Airports
I may be wrong in this, but Australain airports seem to be the only airports in the world that dont have dedicated crew lines inbound.
Arrived into Sydney off a Direct LAX on schedule...emerged from the airport 2 hours later.
Arrived into MEL on schedule.....emerged 1.5 hours later.
Australia is at the end of the line.Tours of duty routinely exceed 10 hours into Sydney and Melbourne.
The Singapore Girl behind me in the Q in Melbourne summed it up beautifully..."this is farking stupid"
So called third world countries not only have far superior airports but all have dedicated crew lines.
I dont want special treatment...I just want someone to recognise how tired we are when we arrive.
It is very diificult when fatigued not to sound off at the Quarantine and Customs people.
This off course can only lead to things being made worse.
What can be done?
