Bennie Dont be a prat. When one does 14 and soon to be 18 hour flights one does not want to spend all the time in a bunk and the agreement was a business class seat in order to be allowed such very long duties in the first place which seems to have been conveniently forgotten by SIA.

In typical SIA fashion they then went on to offer money if we agreed to their demands which are in clear breach of the CA and again in true SIA fashion they threaten that if they win the court case if it comes to that they will withdraw all rights to 1st/business class to crews .

Let me just remind readers that over the recent 2 1/2 years of previous CA negotiations they threatened that if we went to court and won we would only get 6 months back pay instead of the 2.5 years owed!!

They have the morals of an alley cat and the 2 ex Generals are trying to show the Board that they are just as nasty as the previous DFO.
