But Schiphol is doing just fine for my trips to/from east/south Asia and I don't particularly care if there is an additional crew member, or two, on board, or not, whilst I'm sipping my Heineken etc. down the back!
How many passengers count, or have the opportunity to count, flight crew members as they board an aircraft?
And as for non augmented crewed flights ... yes, but only if the flights operate at the optimum time of day, circa 0900 to 1300 local time, crew duty limitations and all that, just try scheduling, circa 2 hours down times at the other end, flights operating between 0900 and 1300 from both Europe and Asia, it takes one hell of a lot of fine tuning to achieve it!
I'm sorry jabird but you're losing all credabilty with this one!
