Thanks Chadzat, interesting indeed.
What I find perplexing is that such a deal can be done without all the costs (Crew wages and conditions for example) being finalised! Did XR simply say to DJ, "this is what we'll pay them", and the costings worked out on that basis. Was the deal conditional on certain Wages/conditions parameters? Were those parameters met? If not, will that impact on XR's income from DJ? Could explain the initial Gap in expectations between management and the pilot group.
I hope for all those concerned that it comes off. Perhaps I'm underestimating the organisational detail. At least I hope I am?
