Stalin,
afaik, the 30/7 reprieve is only available if it's all heavy crewed.
Didn't we cover this a couple of weeks back? You can go to 40/7 if the last flight is heavy crewed. None of the first 30 hours need be. You can go unlimited/7 if they're all heavy crewed. We'll be easily able to do four man to DXB. Then two man to LHR, slip, two man to DXB, then four man home.... particularly if it's an 8 day trip.
I agree ODL. A whole lot of argey bargey from QF for SFA. Playing around the edges in most respects.
Earmuffs, my reading is SBL are in. The element 3A for permanent PLHs is going to be a dog to administer! Of course, won't affect the 767 in a big way. It's probably a win for the junior A380 and 744 crew. They'll do less BL and therefore get more O/T (though none on their BL). The seniors will get average O/T on their blank line. I wonder how long it will be before one of them works out they can now bid BL, still get the element 3A, and do bugger all work. Lol.
