Well, if manpower would be available in the same amounts as there is JET A QR would not be having the problems they have right now, would they!
Ordering airplanes without having the pilots/crews to operate them is as useless as tits on a bull!
I am starting to think that QR management on the 9th floor is led to believe that there is no shortage of crew, that everything is running smoothly in flight ops and that that rumour of 40+ pilots waiting to go to EY is just that, a rumour!
I guess thats what you get when you try to run an organisation by fear...
