Re: LGW crew
Incorrect infortmationabout LGW crew overnighting in Dublin!
It makes no sense at all to overnight LGW crew in Dublin, EI's largest base. Why would you spend money overnighting crew, paying hotel/expenses, when there are hundreds of crew based there?
LGW base is useful for operating the early morning LGW-DUB service, as it saves them having to overnight crew. Other than that, the base is redundant. Its a matter of 'when', not 'if' Gatwick base is closed. All routes can be operated by Dublin based crews, and the early LGW-DUB flight can be operated by overnighting a crew, with Knock and Cork easily operated on a W pattern
The shortages experienced in Dublin last summer, will be combatted by the current recruitment drive; not by overnighting LGW crew
