Curtains

Operated the 424 on 3rd Feb and 8th Feb - First flight was without the curtains but the one on the 8th did have them. Went back to Perth for my leave on the 16th feb and came back on the 26th and neither of those flights had curtains, despite the latest memo stating they were to be installed on all flights from 2/2/08.

Also was pulled out for PVG on the 4th of march, and whilst there were curtains on the way there, for the 10 hr flight back they were most definately absent.

I stopped expecting the curtains long ago. For almost 2 years we'd been promised these, and out of the 20 or so flights I've operated there, the flight on the 3rd was the first time I've even SEEN them, let alone made use of them. And even when you finally get to close your eyes, sleep is still virtually impossible with the constant rabble from tipsy pax in Y/C (for which it is a day flight).

If only I wasn't from there...
