Industrial Agenda ?
I agree with Tankengine, this (these) freighter(s) could be crewed for free.......free at least in comparison to EFA employing their own 747 crews.......how ? unless I'm missing the obvious there is a very large number of mainline 747 crews who are surplus to requirements....and this number is only going to grow. Currently they are being paid divisor pay at 160 credit hours for NOT flying. There are enough of them to crew 5 or more freighters. If they were to crew this gig , EFA would not need to employ a single 747 pilot....so in that respect EFA would get their crews for free.
From a 'group' perspective employing any additional 747
pilots seems .........strange, how does the 'group' benefit ?
