They seem to be having problems recruiting and retaining crew.
Some of this seems to be general factors regarding the SouthEast of the UK. Expensive housing and a glut of jobs which pay the same or more and allow a normal social life.
Late last week a 'bounty' notice was published offering £250 to staff who can introduce new (successful) applicants initially for Ops jobs and one other area. Insiders reckon it will be operating crews next.
