That makes sense. Was there a miscommunication initially?
I am not sure. But I went through some of the comments on the facebook group, in general they think it is harder for them to swap under the new policy and it requires much more work on their part because the application will be denied if their hours fall below 70. There is a piece of information missing right now. What is the average number of hours on their assigned roaster (not the number from PR, but from FAU)? If it's close to 70, it will be hard to do swaps...
E.g. In order to swamp out long haul flights, they have to swamp out the short hauls first so they will be able to apply for the long haul swap.
