It's pretty obvious as the number of Oz based KA commuters goes through the roof as to why there is a big push now by the DPA to get KA DOJ for CX staff travel. Anyone who says it benefits CX crew because we all want to jump on the KA network is taking the piss.
Biggest loss here is to the CX new joiners who knew their package when they joined but now find they have lost 600 places in seniority when they rock up at staff travel.
Any newbies pondering AOA membership won't be happy with the change. The DPA on the other hand have pulled off a master stroke in taking from CX to give to it's members.
