TT - nope.

However, just bear in mind that 2 more aircraft doesn't necessarily mean a need for 2 more sets of crew. If you just increase the frequency on current routes so that say there are 5 rotations a week instead of 3 it just means that the crews are laying over for a shorter time than before and the crew rotation is also shorter. Consequently, instead of say doing 2 x 10 day rotations it would be possible to do 3 x 5 day ones instead. This is pure speculation of course but is just to point out more aircraft doesn't necessarily mean shed loads more crew. Similarly the reduction of 2 frames last autumn didn't throw 20+ crews on the scrap heap.
