1. Are you undercrewed?
Yes. We have a shortage of both seats, but in particular FO's. So many flights are flown with a Capt in the RHS.
2. how long it would take to upgrade all the SFO's on their prefferd type to their preferred base.
80 waiting, maybe 12 a month? It takes 1-2 years to get back to base (unless you are at LGW).
3. How long would it take to replace those SFOs'.
eJ are having real trouble recruiting and keeping FO's. A post 3/03 SFO earns £35k with no increment. The only potential joiners now are the TP guys who fail to get a job anywhere else. Our conditions are right at the bottom of the pile (and an FO earns less again). So it could take forever.
4. At what rate are the aircraft coming/being replaced.
Adding 1.1 a month.
5. How many crews per a/c.
5.3 across the network. Luckily we only get 20 days holiday and work well outside CAP371!!
