Not a conspiracy theory at all, whilst the rostering system may be different those were all issues dealt with at the recent virgin eba.

Just a heads up for JQ guys on what can happen when you end up doing trips.

All of these things were regular practice so much so the unions had to insert clauses which got voted on. To counter that the roster bidding system seems to have developed some sudden glitches.

Mark my words if you go to trips you will see all of this and crewing numbers increase.

........yes after Broomey, I should have made mention of that. Poor old Broomey was loosing the battle, a long list of backstabbers that haunt Tigers constantly! He was/is a top guy but he didn't fit in the 'new' Tigers business model of total chaos even to this day!
