How short of aircrew are we ?

[CXtreme]

From the Friday brief:
“The only assurance I can give you (and the AOA) is that the Company is determined to recruit and train sufficient 744 Freighter crew such that the occasions when a passenger 744 captain will be rostered to fly the freighter will be few and far between.”

Now where have I heard this before…. OH YES. When a duty changes, reserve will only be used in exceptional cases. NOT SO, every single roster change I had automatically change to reserve, every mate I talked to had the same experience. Sometimes for as short a time as 4 hour reserve, just enough to spoil lifestyle.

Sorry N.R. fell for that once, not again.
