Seb, fair point and well reasoned... albeit that an interesting aspect you might (also) like to consider is that FZ's passengers can plan for & book a flight many months in advance of their travel date (and for which FZ take their money), and yet for the aircrew it's seemingly as if the whole thing is dependent upon a last-minute sprinkle of some magic pixie dust on top of a crystal ball which they use to determine the flying program for the following month. And as this last minute roster publication has been going on for 50 months, mgmnt excuses are wearing a bit thin!
