C441, I was only alluding to the situation relating to Crew Commuting using staff travel, not duty vs leisure travel,
So was I. Since the beginning of the school holidays there's hardly been a flight were I haven't been potentially 'out-upgraded' by an 'exec' and his/her partner & kids. It would be unusual for so many execs to be taking their wife and kids to their meeting in Queensland! If only tech crew could be so confident of getting a seat that they could take their children away with them in the holidays.
Anyway, we have departed significantly from the 787 projected route thread so I'll leave it there…….
