There are so many months with minimum legal days off, manual intervention in the rosters, no time off to be with family and see friends, only recovery! i hope this attracts more people as we need them to try and improve life style,but i don't think this announcement will be enough to help.
if this had been with immediate effect, then see what happens by April/May, then this would be more encouraging that they are taking this shortage of crew seriously and would have the time to tweek it at the normal time of announcements...........but
Why not start giving back a little of what has been taken away over the past few years, just throwing a little more money at the problem will not solve it, we still need to live a normal life!!!
gee...............
