do you think BA will be in a position to fly a lot more shorthaul flights than during the last strike?
Hi Tolliver
Yes I do! I think they could have operated a lot more last time as the TV room was stuffed full of crew on standby but they were already committed to the wet-lease deals they had set up. In the end, they were sending real crew and VCCs home because the CRC was at capacity and they had run out of mobile phones. They used some Eurofleeters to cover TLV and Calgary as well. On the second wave, some of the strikers from the first came in so they had even more crew to choose from. I would hope that BA wouldn't be so quick with the wet-lease next time.
