Ok, accepted however you can't simply take a member of staff from Finance and make them a Crew Controller overnight. I imagine you embarked upon at least a 3 week training course when you were first employed as cacincrew?? (Stand corrected if wrong) Should not the same level of training be afforded to other people commencing in a new position.
In short, I'm sure that new people could have been recruited quite quickly however what about all the ex BACon Ops/Crewing staff at BHX, should they not have been given the opportunity to continue in their carreers? It isn't always as simple as it seems! What is required is a greater understanding of each others jobs.
