And whats wrong with arseing around N.Y. all weekend
I'm guessing he is banging on about getting value for money. Paying for a crew doing a stop (hotels, allowances) etc all gets factored into the cost of operating the flights - now, as we know, FR (and MOL) like to keep operating costs to the minimum - hence, tight turnarounds and getting crews back to base if at all possible. You can't really do that on long-haul.
