Gday Vermin, you have the honour of being the first person on earth to call me an optimist! Thanks! Completely agree with hold the line. No question. The only thing we disagree on is the 'bloody nose'. I honestly think we can just sit back, relax, and watch them give themselves uppercuts to their own noses. We dont have to do anything, infact, I think the crewing issue is so terminal, dropping contract compliance tomorrow morning wont change a thing. It is way past 'good will' fixing their inept crewing missmanagement. Way past it. In a way, because we have CC, they have something to blame the problems on other than themselves. Dont forget TW told Kenny that CC only affects a few trouble makers, so he cant use it as an excuse to the board or new owners without looking like a liar, so we are safe there.
People are leaving way faster than they can hire, let alone train! Just sit back and relax, and enjoy the show! (And expect way more rostering disruptions than we ever thought possible!)
