Over the last 5 weeks lpl has been other crewed due to 757. Anecdotally, many crew at lplhave had a quieter than normal month.
Redundancies have been made in relatively small numbers, notably at NCL.
Now I am under no illusions that the crew shortage is a big and real challenge and that our ops director needs to be held to account but blaming every delay on crewing issues is a non starter. Whilst I have heard of some real nightmares across the network, i have not had a flight delayed by crew shortage for months. I have instead had plenty delayed due to slots, mainly due to french ATc strikes, spanish ATC work to rule and general strikes in Greece.
I am in no way an apologist re: crew situation, I'm as angry as everyone else but I am also able to look at the facts and past the hysteria. In other words, not every delay is due to crew shortage.
