They apparently plan to also fly the 777's on 'day trips' out of Sydney, ie Auckland returns and Perth returns, so say goodbye to your longhaul type lifestyle - and any ideas of commuting. It would be difficult.

So they may well get close to 1000hrs out of you, and if they can - they will!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in days gone by ANO exemptions were sought by the company, accepted by the Union and accepted by the pilots and then, and only then, operated by the pilots!

So, has the Union sold you down the drain?...or are you selling yourselves down the drain?

You wanna stick to the Regs?...then show some balls and do so!

...Maybe?

No news good news. There must be something out there that drivers want to keep it out from becoming popular and therefore make it harder to get the seat...

Two Emirates trainers resigned last week and join V in early July. I believe they are both going as Check and Training Captains.

Word is that a few more 777 trainers will be leaving the sand pit in the coming months.
