what complete and utter b@@lox.............................almost as good as the one someone came up with that all freighter flying will be transferred to AHK if we refuse to px on the freighter........................good try at a windup, but you need to make it have some semblance of possibility................
Oh, I dunno. Quoting from last weeks 747 newsletter:
"
Why is there so much positioning taking place, should be the first question you need to ask and understand. We have too many crew in the wrong places to support the freighter network first up...... The route network has significantly changed with regards to basings and preferred ports..."
and from the GMA 'policy letter' a few days later:
"
there may be some other broader implications for Base locations and Base manning levels if Crew Positioning is limted to passenger aircraft only, as this will increase the cost and operational complexity of Crew Positioning, whch may materially impact the viability of some Base locations and Base manning levels."
There is more then a subtle hint coming from the company. And certainly within the "
semlance of possibility"....
