Nationwide has put out a Temporary Safety Bullutin, valid from 23 September 2005 to mid-October 2005, allowing the B737-200 to operate with 3 cabin crew only, and the 727-200 to operate with 4 cabin crew. Why don't they always fly like that? Excellent way to reduce the staff salary bill! And suppose flight deck crew goes on strike, guess only one pilot and servicable auto-pilot required?!?!
If the rumour is true, and other airlines cabin crew have been asked to fly for NTW, shame on them, would love to know how much they been paid to fly?
