No you're all wrong.There has been some discussion about putting AAE cabin crew on the Daallo CDG Djibouti flights to save the cost of getting MAN crew positioned to LGW each time.As the Travelcity Direct contract runs down (because of poor technical performance),the AAE people will have nothing to do..unless they all go back to European,who are rumoured to be taking the Travelcity contract back.Anyway,putting AAE crew onto Excel planes would produce a terrible colour clash between their uniforms and the Excel headrest covers...just think about it..commercial suicide sweetie!
(and I know this is true 'cos two baggage loaders and an Airlinks carpark bus driver told me)
