Why does QR flight ops/ HR do anything that needs forthought. They are reactionary driven. When times were good the numpties reduced the stby numbers to the bare minimum - all assuming things go normal. They relied on the goodwill of the crew to get the operation through if a hiccup occurs. They grabbed the new EASA FTLs with such glee they had a virtual orgasm - every long haul flight could be a maximum of 24hrs rest! Hallelujah! Reduce crew numbers further but keep the same operation. Keep it all legal by having a sham FRMS!
As said - the chickens are coming home to roost.
