Does anyone know if J* International or J* Asia for that matter have cabin crew rest seats ?
It would be a very long day/night to HNL without somewhere to have break and a meal for 20 minutes...

Even Emirates have no crew rest seats on their 777's.
Jet* Asia definitely do not have them and I can't imagine Jet* international would waste valuable pax seats to put crew in when they have perfectly good jump seats to sit in.

That sounds like a lot of fun and then they will probably have to clean the aircraft as well.It will be interesting to find out the accomodation that Scrooge Air is planning on using for crew in HNL and others.

20 questions? That would be great but doesnt really make any sense. Considering they ask 10 questions per aircraft at the moment. My friend said it was the normal exam plus the 20 questions. He didnt mention if it was a separate exam or not.

Airbus has announced the A-380 has or will be delayed further and that Qantas is unlikely to to recieve the 380 until 2008 at the earliest.Apparently QF has or is recieving $140 million so far in payments because of the delay and that was before this latest announcement.
Firstly,I think you can see who is paying for the cabin crew VR program and secondly,if these delays continue the QF profit for next year will be a humdinger if these penalty payments increase or continue.
Shares in airlines or the industry as a whole are generally looked at skeptically because of their sensitivity and vulnerability to outside events but shareholders in airbus must be getting particularly nervous

Have just done EPs. The 'short' day has an SOP module. The only exam you'll be doing is made up of 20 questions. 15 on SOPs and 5 general EP questions. No impact drills.
(though there is also a DGs exam - just the usual 5 questions though)!
If however you are doing the 'long' day, you'll be doing the normal EP exam plus impact drills.

In light of Eden99's recent post, I'm not sure if this is possible or not, but maybe the FAAA could send up some info to the UK union Amicus (or filter it through current union members) to ensure that we're working with the Australian based crew in case it all goes pear shaped down the track.
Anyway, just a suggestion

hey twigss,
just to set the record str8, no sexual services occurred. It appears an ex short haul flight attendants sexual fantasies resulted in a dob against a couple of crew who were being harrassed by an "extoverted" female pax.
Rumours have spread following the CSM making an announcement on a crew bus about some underage activity based on the rantings of the ex short haul crew member. According to my sources, the woman was a uni student who had also given the previous crew on the flight a good workout
I was in Singapore when the rumours hit and i know the guys concerned and this is just another case of the truth not being as good as a fabricated story.
When the dust settles on this one i expect that the "dobber" who fabricated the whole thing will be out of a job for false accussations.

Maybe our friend PP can fill us in on the details........?
The story involves the LHR base manager [Known by Syd crew as "Lurch"], a [traveling] member of the Royal Family, sacked QF group security staff member and MI5............
