Just for the record, pressure is being brought to bear on CX crews to operate two-man crew on more HKG-AUS v.v. flights, which will include BNE and ADL, including overnight sectors. CNS and PER have always been two-man. The contract is to be 'amended'. HKG-MEL and -SYD are safe 'for now' until the faster A350 is introduced, then the pressure will be on again.
This is one of the many causes of significant industrial tension in CX and is considered a flight safety issue.
