As of 1st June we go from 6 flights a week with max 19 pax each way to 8 flights a week with max 13 pax each way so still move 10 pax less despite the increased flying hours.

No idea what the numbers crunch to from an overall risk perspective but if you are flying more flights I suspect it must go up ?

I think we all fully appreciate that they had to be seen to be making an intervention to improve but even with all the changes being implemented there is still no guarantee everyone will survive in the event of a crash / heavy ditching anyway.

I await with interest how they will manage the pax size issue when that one comes into force ..............
