As we are talking here mainly on the relationship between T.F. and his pilot group, my question is a bit of topic. But, as AK pilots are on this forum, maybe one can answer this.
As per yesterday AirAsiaX is flying 5 times weekly to Hangzhou and were already flying 4 times weekly to Brisbane.
As they only have one aircraft, A330, they utilize it well over 400 hours per month.
Sure it can be done and they are doing it, but, with one aircraft only,
one snag, weather, tech, and the whole schedule goes to pieces for some time.
What would be the back up plan here, or is it gambling?
Just curious.
Regards
E.B.
