Reduced layovers at V Australia

[ad-astra]

If anyone is interested or anyone remembers there is a thread that thrashed itself to death in April this year named;

"V Australia commenced BNE-LAX today"

At the time the 'new start optimism' was all that could be heard.
There is some very interesting reading with hindsight!

A few like myself were most uneasy at the belief that the good times would roll on and never end and that the VA T&C's would/could only improve.

Well the economic realities are setting in and unless there is a collective (read unanimous) push by the VA Pilot group to contain the economic realists then things WILL only get worse and the better T&C's that you all hoped for will be as far away as ever!

Yes the VBA T&Cs did improve (as indicated by a resigination rate close to naught), but the last VBA EBA was fought for with what I saw was a strong pilot group working towards a common goal.

Good luck
