Well good for you bypass. Glad you can work the portal. Don't you think we get enough stick from our managers already without turning on and eating our own?
This Sydney thing has been going on for years during the southern winter. As normal, in a few months it all goes away when the winds calm down and the flight time increases. If you didn't know that this airline, like most others, is run by bean counters and IFS, you have had a very sheltered life here. They have no clue. I would have thought that the 380 FOs would have welcomed the extra flight time to help overcome the Command hour issue.
The more it changes, the more it stays the same.
