getting in the revenue

Hi PB

I totally see what you're saying and agree with the analysis in some respects, but if the company have overhead for 5 or 6 planes and can only crew 3 taking into account sickness and holiday and pilot fatigue and current workforce numbers etc then when they get offered that job from the brokers, then they have to turn it down and hence lose revenue which would have gone towards paying for the electricity bill etc.
So essentially what I'm saying is they've done as our Prime Minister and cut too deep and too soon.
If they off loaded their fleet and only had 3 aircraft and moved to a porta cabin then yes it would make sense but they still have 5 6 or 7 aircraft without the actual ability to fly them.
