I remember this too.

BASSA was extremely against Midfleet and didn't want to represent any crew going over to this fleet, not until they realised crew were getting promoted fairly quickly on it!

Don't be nervous about coming into work! It's easier said than done but you will be looked after and trust me when I say that many crew are coming to work!

As much as I hate to say this it needs to be said. Not only would it have a physical impact but also a financial impact as you wouldn't get any allowances for that second day.

I think VS did have nightstops on the west coast for some time but realised that crew were both fatigue and hitting their 900 hours faster than they could have imagined. We have a couple of 3 day...

Single nighstops in LAX and SFO and operating both out and inbound flights would be extremely tiring. It would also include LAS, PHX and possibly CPT and JNB too. Another problematic bit would be...

Thanks for that!

I only wish it would have been directed instead to a crew member who voted YES for a strike. :)

Hope you enjoy CPT! It's really nice at this time of the year!

Some were probably taken by surprise of the strike dates but surely some of the voters must have realised that a strike action can...
