"emerald have no option but to modernise...they were taken to task over the "FW" over (almost into) the alps incident !!
I heard crews were having to beg borrow and steal flightplans from other operators just to get by on the continent as they were receiving little to no support from base no doubt due to manpower shortages and were ill prepared to operate on the continent.
unsurprisingly things almost went disasterously wrong".
Just a thought - is it not strange how crews were able to fly this route safely, before and numerous times after the FW incident using the same information, nav logs etc which they DID NOT beg, steal or borrow - just a thought.
