Not without considerable damage to our brand! Why go there when we don't have to? My experience of training new-entrant crew tells me that our disclosure service struggles when we have two courses a week (24 in each) as does uniform stores, The Rivers, ID unit, etc so I think your optimism is unfounded. Lets hope we don't have to put it to the test, eh!
Would this be the same ID/uniform etc unit that has managed to kit out 1000 VCCs (in addition to pilots, around 50% without airside IDs) within 12 weeks? The logistics of replacing strikers is no longer the obstacle it might have been at Christmas. Dont forget the 750+ in the hold pool and the temps yet to return, a full time contract will tempt many and most have previous flying experience.

And would it be the same damage to the brand that was caused by the use of VCC in march that actually INCREASED the cabin crew GPM results?
