Currently there are 14 CSS's and 17 CSM's waiting to transfer to SYD and 13 CSM's waiting for BNE and 6 CSS's waiting for BNE.
After those have been actioned there still should be a few slots in SYD for the lucky ones, the rest will be down in MEL.

Who Got Promoted?
The Usual Suspects....those flying less then 10 years and have a bed on the Ist floor.
Watch out for a whole new batch of by the book nazis..fart in the wrong place with this lot and you will be clause elevened.
Double jeopardy.... a brand new CSM flying with a brand new CSS.
A crew's worst night mare

...and the Passengers?
No sleep..due to no flexibility.
they will get overkill....and no sleep on a 13 hr sector.
.....and the crew will get no sleep and provide declining quality of service.
Absolutely fab?.....absolutely not.
These guys will learn the hard way...they will be lied to...bent over and then offered no support whatsoever.
I can see a few mutinies in the next twelve months.
Not to mention.... superglued suitcase locks...biscuits in pockets and banana scraped on the bottom of shoes.
Oh Dear .. lotsa tears

Ah......not that I'm aware of and I've been around a while.
Having said that, one of our more notorious CSMs "lost" a shoe while he was in crew rest resulting in a rather lopsided shuffle through customs.
Rumour has it that it "found it's way" into the onboard trash compactor, never to be seen again.

Of Course it Happens
In the old days Bombe Alasks were put in attache cases.
Locks super glued.
Biscuits put in Uniform pockets
Ice cream in shoes
Breakfast ordered,charged and delivered to rooms at 3am.

Moral of the story...dont upset the crew

Understand this sort of thing went on in the old days - and probably to a lesser extent these days too...
But...I wonder, as a curious observer, what makes a CSM good vs. bad over at Long Haul?
Is following the rules and procedures seen as being that bad? Or is it a case of being inflexible??
From my own experience, I like onboard managers who do follow the rules, but who also demonstrate flexibility when faced with different situations.

What Makes a Good CSM ?
Trust
You can trust them to get the "balance"right
Personally I dont trust anyone in management on the ground.
But....I trust a number of "managers"who fly because they will not shaft you when it all hits the fan...they take responsibility for what goes on without blaming someone else..that takes courage and earns enormous respect and trust.
There comes a time in every CSM's career when they need the support of their crew.....those that arent trusted get crucified....I have seen it happen and it aint pretty.

This will be interesting..especially the briefings that crews will have to endure.This will give you an indication of how the trip is going to be.
