Come on guys its not THAT bad. Every year at this time people moan and whinge about not getting enough flying, then when the summer comes they start moaning about doing too much work. Catch 22.
As for the crew council, give it time! They are a newly formed group of guys and are doing their best. You can not expect things to move along with haste from the off. Give it time to establish before looking for any fantastic results.
Or would you prefer to go back to the way it was!!!!!
