The aircraft going to LAX 2 years ago empty was short 4 crew and this had been known for almost 2 weeks before departure.A new school of FAs was about to graduate(not to mention 6 line managers being available on ground duty) and it was suggested by the FAAA that some of the graduates may wish to forego their 2 two days off after graduation and crew the aircraft the following day.The company refused out of pure bloody mindedness.
