Well over on CF they're all having wet dreams about how they "stood up to the Captain" who wanted them to leave one down, about how the Captain was "so in the wrong and he knew it" and how "the Captain got told off by flight ops". Sorry to burst your bubble folks but the Captain was not in the wrong, he was perfectly correct in trying to keep the operation running with a legal number of cabin crew and Flight Ops do not tell captains off for such trivia as this. If they even noticed it would simply have been to say "Oh well, you tried your best."
The funniest part of the whole thread is that the Vicky Pollard type who started it found that when the standbys demanded eventually turned up at the aircraft there was one extra and
they'd been removed from the Gen Dec! Sometimes the threat of an offload is whats required to put these people back into their boxes and remind them who's really in charge of the operation.
