I know a lot of crew on Reserve this bid period that have been sitting around for 10 + more days on stand-by. The A380 is very over staffed at the moment but if they keep rostering back to back LAX with a single X day between trips you can imagine the sick leave will increase.
I also heard a rumour that LHR based crew will be crewing 1 x A380 flight all the way to Sydney next Bid Period so the LHR crew can attend Exceptional.
Can anyone confirm or deny this?
