G-FDZR doing LGW-TFS-BOH today whilst G-TAWW doing BOH-TFS-LGW. Seems like a regular down-route swap, however it seems silly since the BOH aircraft is shcheduled to position to LGW tonight at 20:00 as it does every Friday. Surely this swap could’ve just been done by G-TAWW flying BOH-LGW tonight and then G-FDZR flying LGW-BOH tomorrow night, or am I missing something? What’s more, the swapping seems to have further delayed what were already slightly delayed flights.
I would think its to do with crewing, the Gatwick crew will fly on the same aircraft, in this case G-FDZR, LGW-TFS-BOH-LGW so they start their duty at LGW and finish it at LGW, however does mean the BOH crew flew on G-TAWW, BOH-TFS-LGW, maybe this crew is then need at LGW at the weekend, and will then bring the aircraft back to BOH again?
