"The only time they have 7 thai crew and 18 is when the reserves are positioning to LHR for there reserve coverage and they work up."
They work home to BKK too dont they? Iv'e heard that crew complements of 18 and 19 are not unusual.
" the rubbish will be removed and the obsolete put out of there missery."
Would they that you are refering to be the disengaged???
The Hewitt survey indicated the disengaged to be around 70% of the [operational] workforce, company wide.
Pray tell. Who will run the airline if only the sycophants are left?
