Hey guys, thanks so much for all the responses so far. Already way-surpassed the uptake I expected - while it's a hot topic for us all, I really appreciate the support!

what next - Apologies, I have to hone in on a particular sector of the market, otherwise there's a danger one could argue the scope is too wide and the data doesn't apply to an airline environment (which could do with leading by example). Just trying to cover the defence!

Denti - I can't really go into detail as yet, but as you say a couple of carriers saw it fit to publicly announce their desire to use sickness. It hasn't gone unnoticed!

Sick - I agree there's a reasonable chance in particular parts of the world they've underestimated the return. Of course with the number of guys out of work, who knows the effect it will have... Though I have spoken to several who are planning the exit, despite still flying. What has happened in a little over a year?!

Thanks again all.
