Statistics
We all know that there are lies, damn lies and then there are statistics.
So lets not argue over numbers and percentages and just deal in facts.
During all periods of industrial action this year I was operating on the 777.
None of the flights I operated on used any VCC, but all operated with at least 8 cabin crew.
1 flight operated with 9 cabin crew, the rest with 8.
I did 6 trips (12 flights) over the strike periods.
I had NO flight cancelled and worked my published roster.
So in summary in my eyes whatever stats are quoted the strike had NO effect on me or my roster.
I experienced greater roster instability from the Icelandic volcano.
I will let you draw your own conclusions but mine is that BASSA have no way out.
