Without sound too harsh towards Ford pilots, but they've had it too good for too long. Maybe some of them will have to join "real aviation" and work for a living, i.e. multi sector days, maximum flying hours etc.
Maybe Ford have finally woken up to the fact that flying their staff around in 2 737's isn't excatly cost efficient !
I suspect XL will be around for a while longer. Wet lease is cheaper while Ford try to sort out there next move.
Again, apologies for sounding too up front and harsh but it's an operation that just cannot pay for itself. Maybe if Ford offered out the a/c at weekends and bank holidays, they'd get some money in rather than just sending it out........but, I suspect they don't hold an AOC
