You claim it's not your problem, yet the European bases wouldn't stand for your salary never mind flexi crew. Perhaps they see the future if flexi crew arrived. Do you really think future captains will be on your deal? When there are enough flexi crew idiots in the left seat could they base everyone in LIS and night stop you?
Couple of problems with above
1. When Euro crew bases become too expensive or union demands become excessive bye bye Euro bases ( Madrid today Paris/Berlin tomorrow )
2. When there are enough flexicrew in both seats they will probably base them in LGW and nightstop you in Europe.
3. How much will your salary be worth in Escudos, Lira , Pesetas and Francs?
4. They wont be on my deal.
