You bloody cope and are flexible - bit if lateral thinking - there isn't any these days.
Don't dispute the staffing levels that why is pointed said managers are at fault.
As for the J2 formation team perhaps these should be double parked as a matter of cause reducing space during the winter M-F - OR better still use price to encourage them to be taken elsewhere LBA or EMA for parking,
EMA has two rather large aprons where you could park a dozen J2 planes !
As for legitimate reason - Maybe so however these should still be open to criticism not the least by the operators and handlers themselves- Again complacency seems to rule, and declaring a 7700 is no way to be managing these events period !
