Mate, if you can fix a crew seat you could well be in, just get to kalgoorlie with your tools. Nc1993 got diverted due to weather in ypph and low fuel, now grounded due to attendants seat! Lots of unhappy workers :-)

Actually, forget the tools- engineer flew down, signed the paperwork and we all got back seven hours later. The crew flew straight back on the next flight, much to the annoyance of the stranded pax. Another cobham classic

A cabin crew seat. If it was not in the MEL and there was not a LAME rated on type available then yes it would be normal to have to fly one in. Even though the seat may not have been fixed it may also not be so unusual to require some maintenance activity prior to release. It all depends on how the manuals are written.
The rated on type LAME is the key, - without one of them some things just cannot happen.
I would have thought it may have been possible to operate the flight on a reduced pax/reduced crew scenario but again some things are not always as they appear. You would have to imagine that there was more to it all.

Thanks for the posts, but was after a little more information as to what the company is like to work for. The EBA gives me a good start for the T&C but really after the "workers" point of view?
Anyone else care to comment?
