I had also wondered about this Kaptin and wonder if this is a double edged sword for the crews involved- especially the more junior ones.
If they do apread the flying around, everyone gets a couple of sectors per week. Crews hang on hoping to get a guernsey when perhaps they would be better off getting out into the marketplace and getting a job elsewhere.
The Catch 22 there is that if they resign, they lose any redundancy pay that may come about.
The options as I see them are pretty poor.
1. Hang around for the three months and hope things improve so that you still have a job,
2. Pull the pin now and go free market on a softening world wide aviation situation and lose any super payouts,
Are there others?
Not having a shot at AN, just wondering where all this is going!
