Id say you right there. No additional crew required after the 88 as of yet. Takes the total number close to 880. Management have been hell bent on the training of the returning crew, to the detriment of current crew as they are “taking” sectors for line flying. Which means greater number of stand down days for crew. More bodies with f all flying on at the moment. Management have a grand plan and it’s certainly being kept a closely guarded secret. Looking forward to next year to see how it all plays out.
