Marsha,
Think twice before applying for the base in LHR.

The rumours about the problem with crew hour restrictions appear to be true and if this is the case then the long term viability of the base is in doubt!

Also the start up cost is said to be 3 times the estimated cost,so I would be surprised if the base is extended beyond the contracted 2 or 3 years

This is not a reflection on the crew based in LHR but of the mess up the company made in their crew figures of nearly 17% based on an anticipated 240 hour roster.

This must be driving GD nuts with him wondering how he will explain this screw up to the board,especially after the screw up with Jet Star Asia!!!
