It always makes me wonder how some Airlines (charter) keep their Pilot's on full pay/ contracts throught the quite winter months.
TOM are really busy now in the winter, But if you look at the likes of MYT, XL, AEU they dont seem to be really busy.
I was curiously going through the Airport arrivals for MAN the other day, TOM had 11 arriving A/C, But MYT & XL had not more than 3 each.
Some days there are hardly no flights for MYT & XL.
ZB are always busy with the schedules, MON seems alot busier this winter than previous.
They must have Aircraft just parked for months, And what about their crews what are they doing Training??
It seems a trivial question, But I have always wondered how some charter carriers make any profit in the winter months.??
MYT have 14 320's, 4 321's, 4 3330's (HAJ) 2 763's.
XL have 12 738's, 2 763's 1 762 1 752.
Even with the odd day trip/lapland I still cannot see a busy winter.
Surely all these aircraft are not flying??
Any answers appreciated
