Cabin crew roles and pay rates

[medhead]

There are certainly many area's in which savings can be made, but in the context of this thread each operator of the A380 has the same fuel cost in Syd and Mel for example. With FA's each operator has a different base cost and some of these differences will be quite substantial.

My comment was to address your claim that it all adds up as a reason to cut crew cost. Cutting fuel cost adds up a hell of a lot quicker.
