Just thought of an idea and wanted to run it past those here....

The tech crew with mainline have an agreement with the company for extending a slip.I don't know if this is just with HNL or with a number of slips.

I don't know what the actual agreement with the company is but it's basically that the crew member can elect to extend their slip from the standard length to 1 week or so.....

The catch is that the crew member has to pay for their food and allowances.

What if this was extended to cabin crew?

The crew member has a slip of a week or maybe two and pays their own accommodation and food.That means substantial savings for the company as well as effectively using more crew for the same hours without additional cost...or it's like the crew member taking LWOP but not at home...which is what the company wants isn't it.

It's just that this way the crew member is taking the leave where he/she wants to take it...

The company wins and the crew wins...everyone would be happy...

Now I wait for the inevitable flak.....
