No surprise. EZY, RYR, BA, etc etc are all cutting flights.
Jimmy Riddle, again you are not accurate with what you say. GSM will be OVERcrewed come the winter, winter is what we are talking about here. As for summer crewing levels, I think you will find lots of airlines undercrewed during summer. Anyway for GSM the prob is too little captains, plenty of first officers. (Not uncommon.)
Writing on the wall?
How do you figure?
Reducing flights during winter caused by getting rid of 737-600s and 737-300s. Will also cut fuel bill and allow for more ACMI work. Dont see the problem there? Seems like good business sense to me. I think GSM are cutting an extra 3% of flights. RYR have famously cut 25% at STN alone. EZY doing similar.
