Hmmm...there was a post here last night with a screenshot of internal comms that the poster presumably subsequently decided was better kept internal.
It stated that from 1 Mar VA would have a surplus on the widebody fleet that they were looking to manage with leave but, if unable to do so, they would be forcing pilots to take unpaid leave as it was a ‘catastrophic’ event beyond their control.
It went on to state that both the FWA and their EA gave them the ability to do so, but by including it in the EA at least they were required to discuss matters with the AFAP.
