Thanks for the input guys,
Gamble, I hope you get in soon, but sadly I have no real idea of how long you might wait.
The only thing I know is that over this last winter flexi crew flew hardly at all (30 - 40 hours it seems) and so looked pretty over crewed and so far my summer rosters (perm, european base) are nice, 60 - 70 hours so from my point of view it doesn't look like we're too stretched,
so based on the last winter, I doubt we'll need many more guys before next summer but that really is a guess.
