FlyBE ensure that crews are rostered for a 40 minute turnaround in order to have a brew and eat whatever food has been supplied them, providing the crew duty is long enough to qualify for food, i.e. 6 hours.
That they do this by pulling the 30 minutes either side to an unmanageable 25 minutes is a little bit hard to fathom, but there you go.
H.A.Clue, I'll pass on you problem at LGW to management and see if that has an affect on the rules, you never know.
There is a lot of crew problems at present, with aircraft movement, some of the outstation crews are not trained on types nightstopped and touring crews sometimes go sick, or leave without the crewing folk knowing!
This should be resolved soon as Cabin crew get courses on applicable types to provide standby at some locations. The setup at Fanborough is training as many Q400 pilots as it can right now, so those newly delivered aircraft will start moving as soon as they can.
Problems with food are ongoing but are being tackled. When you get it, at least it's reasonably good nosh!
