LL you are correct, I still believe the jobs of CC at the moment are more secure than those in non operational roles in management. There is discussion of further "re-organisation" in management on the way.
Next roster there is a significant reduction in flying that has been planned for some time. Until the end of this roster they are short of crew, but from next roster when the cuts come in there would have been further surpluses if crew hadnt booked the leave burn.
Given that the BKK base crew have not been given ANY work next bid period and the 120 crew average 220 hours each you can see how much work has dissappeared....... Its not a myth
Although i agree the resource management seems to lurch from one crisis to another. there doesnt seem to be an effective plan but perhaps thats symptomatic of the erratic bookings and loads
