excellent, it appreciate the humour however as another example:
a 757 sent with 7 crew, 5 on cop payments to take an ams from dsa with 70 pax and a 737-800 sent to tfs 170+ pax on min crew.
5 crew that i speak with on a regualr basis haven't worked anything more than 2 flights per week for the last month because summer temps have all the work.
nsa reports? do they even know it exists? trips galore for some, lucky to be in the crew room at the same time as a departing plane for others!
5 crew called to take a flight from man, 2 flight deck all on cop to take an mon flight to tfs and then bring an aircraft back, at the time of callout, the flight hadn't even left the uk!
the whole operation leaves alot to be desired since the tui takeover!
