Stu, I guess they've managed to persuade enough FO's to sell their leave back in the coming months to cover the flights?! Double the leave at the time of my choosing doesn't interest me, I guess it did others. Fair enough deal I guess.
Crewing levels really have been ridiculous this year, but I'm sure noone in orange land will lose their job over the cancelled flights, subcharters and disruption to everyones lives.
Roll on the Airbus, and say goodbye to even more of us!!
