TCAS,
The EOI for FO's ONLY was offered to ALL pilots again due to the change of base. The recent awarded positions are for Sydney and all and sundry new that.
More commuters who will start bitching and moaning they HAVE to commute........
The A330 introduction is sloppy (especially crew) with a lack of information and the appointment of both positions outside start date.
As I understand it, as the A330 operation is currently outside the 2007 EBA then
VB can and do as it pleases. Good luck getting any help from AFAP or VIPA they will just cry poor and say we cant do anything.
Therefore my previous comment stands, that is promotion to the left hand seat is entirely possible.
