Sorry Brian
Nice idea but no chance in hell of it even being considered much less happening..
Does anybody think the Unions care ?
They wouldn't even consider taking on extra work without wanting huge "disturbance allowances" and "additional payments" before even deigning to consider this.
If Airline goes down the tubes it is Managements fault and nothing to do with overmanning, outdated working practices and inflexibility on their part. They would still demand maximum redundancy payments even at the cost of Airline ceasing to exist.
