We're now 45 short - this time last year we were 15 over!
By whose measure? ROSTIMA will take care of that; oh then the SDE, oh then the NAS G (ICAO G) for GAFA and then Free Flight with a functional FPCP and think of all those excess bodies.
Oh yes and lets not forget the 30 or so Team Leaders / UTMs / Aisle Supervisors that may get VR if the commission agrees with the union; re the Potentially Surplus issue. Maybe we are short after-all; did someone mention TIBA?
All this before we get into the CA/Collective AWA negotiations; We're in for more trouble waters, one would think.
