Hugh,
I am surprised by your comments. I am guessing that you are unaware of the 'EBA 7 variation agreement' whereby the Company has agreed to reinforce/strengthen the Seniority based reduction of numbers/retrenchment system. in the unlikely event of Tech Crew retrenchments ( they learnt a big lesson in the 70s fuel crisis), Im tipping AoA will be $500 better off.

There are no words in the Oxford dictionary that can describe the illogical cr@p that you have just written. Yes, there are a "lot of seat warmers, oxygen thieves, dead-wood, 'professional' First and Second Officers, .......preventing the progress of others who are certainly more productive and have more talent and potential." But for every one of them, there would be 50 who arent. So by your and HJs brilliant analysis, we should get rid of crew based on fleet type rather than seniority.
Which will get rid of 50 high achievers in addition to that 1 piece of dead wood.
Brilliant.
