Ok, this is now an official 'Sense of Humour Failure' announcement. It is bad enough that they cancel bases (effectively). Then they cancel temp basings. So, for the 2000 aircrew effectively now 'imprisoned' in HK, they have had their only remaining method of traveling taken away from them (in practice, if not theory). Surely this is not only a violation of our COS, but is in it's simplest form, an abrogation of our ability to manage our families properly (or don't you think Bob that I should be able to freely and without hindrance visit my family members back in my domicile, or have them visit me?). If there was ever an issue for the AOA to dump all over the company for, this is surely it. Unbelievable.
Mr. Slosar, what exactly was it you were saying about staff relations....?, and how important they were. And what part of the latest safety audit does this shambles come under? I bet you don't have any trouble traveling to wherever it is you wish to travel to.....
