Ansett did have the B762 FE positions and it took a very long time and alot of money to get rid of them.
Ground crew guys were also paid a garenteed/rostered 10hrs o/time every week
Have also heard that the engineers never went hungry and were regularly fed un-used 1st and business class meals
Pushback were done with up to three engineers, two as wing walkers and one on the headset
