As for the financial angle - A question - How good at FR at reimbursing staff for money spent on non-pre approved ad hoc expenses?
What do you mean? How can there be a stranded crew but no stranded captains? As for reimbursement, if FR repays the expense, then good, if not, then I'm sure this would still be useful to some people at some point, yes?

As I said, I have to do it and I do get reimbursed where necessary. I have no idea how that particular company deal with a situation like this - although it's obvious what they ought to do if they expect their crew to be fit to fly.
Not asking you per se, but asking the captains here, really. We all know that FR won't do it for whatever reason, so what's stopping a captain from stepping up now and putting pressure on FR to reimburse him later on?
