The aim is supposedly to release an aircraft as another spare, seeing as how there has been some appalling serviceability and lots of replacement aircraft leased in. This will allow a crewed spare at BRS ready to react! Probably not popular with the summer contract pilots who are seemingly to be moved to MAN, leaving a few too many F/O's at NCL but no redundancy (yet). Cabin crew may not be so fortunate. All will face several days a week away from home base.
