Why are you so convinced that VCC are not replacable? If there's enough time for them to complete training as well flying duties surely their original tasks can't be that important or too time consuming
Please MissM, can we drop this one, it has been addressed time and time again.
As far as my department is concerned, the VCC's are covered by overtime/lieu days. That's to say, their job needs to be covered and continues so. We require their continued employment within the department. Period!
It costs, I'll grant you. But no where near the costs that would be attributed in not doing so.
We have all made sacrifices which strenghten OUR resolve in backing the company. That MissM, will never change, as long as BA remains solvent and a viable business. And the likes of a militant minority who offer no more than a 'loan', will not change that!
