there is a lot more we could do with 6 months notice. go back to minimum unit requirement. give up ojti, lce, stop bandboxing on nights. no shortcuts, no high speed etc

Absolutely right. Of course the other things stopped would be:
No short notice leave approvals after roster publication
No 1/2 days AL/DIL
Everyone staying for the whole shift all the time
No release for meetings/medicals/need to see the au-pair etc
ATSAs on overtime being sent home when the number of sectors reduces to the number which can be met by the the core shift and only paid for the hours worked
By the way, what's the point about 'not bandboxing on nights'? The standard night configuration in AC is not a concession.
