Surely the 3 year plan announced in May will have changed and the crew numbers needed will have changed,
No it won’t be as that is not what the 3 year plan is for. That plan was to deal with long term forecast beyond 3 years, and the crewing numbers required from mid-2022 onwards. Anything in the middle is to be dealt with via stand downs and LWOP. Reduced domestic demand over the next few months will not alter this. The long term surplus from 2023 onwards was the number of 747 crew and it appears maybe a slight few more, but this will be taken care of via VR, early retirement and long term LWOP.
IMO there will be little change announced tomorrow from the recovery plan announced in June (not May btw).
I’ve also noticed most of the time management tend to announce big changes when they’re ready to be announced, not wait until results day.
