Wrong about SQ again KM, Next lot start in early Nov. Sorry your information is confused with emotions and hatred. Keep to the facts, just the facts instead of raving on.
You really can't accept the no reserve bit can you? Just because in your days with AN no one allowed themselves to be available on G days or days off means that others were as pig headed as your lot. There used to be G days and days off in the blocks that you flew too but just imagine trying to get you to work. Beer and cornflakes was the standard breakfast in those days.
I can actually remember a certain FO who tried to do his reserve duty from a location in NSW well outside the 120 min call out time without informing his employer. Got away with it until one day when he was needed in a hurry. Amazing what you could get away with in the days when the company was operated with a gun held at its head by the AFAP. Wonder what would happen if the same person tried that with their present employer without the AFAP to keep their job?
