Famous words in last Crews News - by NR

Today, there are only enough KA B744F crew trained and checked to the line to operate somewhere between two and three aircraft. Due to crew shortages during 2007, Dragonair has had to cancel a significant number of services, both long-haul and regional. Also the utilisation of the KA 744 freighter in 2007 has been close to half that of CX 744F.
The fourth KA B744 Freighter has recently arrived and a decision has been taken to dry-lease this aircraft to another Operator for at least 12 months. Negotiations are at an advanced stage.
Clearly with 3 KA B744 Freighters, even if they are currently undermanned, there are insufficient vacancies for all the flight crew coming off the 4 KA "Classic" Freighters over the next 12 months and so CX will offer positions to any KA crew who wishes to resign from KA and join our freighter operation as a F/O or Rapid Commander. Details of the various options were sent to KA crew earlier this week, for a reply by end February.
Oh ****!
I can fix this problem
but not enought $ in my current account!
