Natch, of course.. You aren't gonna do 5 two hour sectors with an 0600 start! But a 1200 start with 5 x 45 min sectors would probably work (unless you are LHR SH cabin crew! - in which case 3 sectors (without a 3 hour rest) would be just too much).

Just to say, I understand the desire of current crew to maintain he status quo re earnings etc, but that I understand (and agree with) the company's desire to have a competative product to protect our future pensions!

Anyway, what I say will not change things; but apparently there is someone (ex-senior CC manager, now VP American Ops) travelling around upsettin gcrews saying that it is a done deal and that a matter of weekd will see it in. He is also reported as saying that the temp LH crews have been told to 'hang on to their uniforms for abother 2-3 months'.

Read into that what you wish/or not.

All I can say is that we live in interesting times.

What is now may not well be so in mid 2009, be you cabin crew or flight crew!
