MugaBELLEW was in the STN crewroom on Tue before 6am pressing flesh. I asked him and he told me:-
1. All the new bases will be on Apr-Oct 5/4 roster and Nov-Mar 5/3 roster. That includes the Canaries. Apparently all places are filled now for the islands.
2. Limited leave all Dec 2010 due xmas ops. Very few on month off which will affect Dec hours. Many off in Jan on month off and unpaid leave which should help hours for all.
3. No more OCC courses. Anyone in FR knows where to call him in STN and most have his mobile number!
