The hours have dropped noticeably from last year to this year, but it was inevitable after the recruitment drive. No problem.
The main worry for Flexicrew now is if they continue to recruit in significant numbers next season. It isn't needed, especially given the halting of expansion. However a large proportion of Flexicrew will be on the highest pay scale by then.
If they do it's a rather negative indicator for the current batch, who's hours will only diminish beyond affordability as Jumbito is now finding. Now why would they propose to introduce a gaurantee of such a low yearly hour total...?
