From what I understand the 5254 roster pattern is fatigueing. I can only presume that the lack of crews results in further pressure on these rosters. I suspect that all this has a negative effect on morale and therefore on performance. This in turn tends to lead to an increase in crew sickness which only adds to the workload of the remaining pilots. It would be stating the obvious to suggest these problems can only have a negative impact on Flight Safety. Bearing in mind we are in the first half of the summer season I would suggest that easyJet's problems have yet to really get started.
NSF - can you tell me under what circumstances you would get concerned?
