Sadly the only absolute truth in the quoted post is the bit about roster changes 🙁
Rosters are allegedly going to be much more robust and stable from now on, with the launch of a new company-wide campaign to promot work-lifestyle balance.
It wouldn't take much to re-activate the ALC and PMI bases should that be the desire for overnights, there is still all the equipment and staffing in place - the planned night stops worked quite well when they were last utilised.
