MR8 - you think they are that intelligent?? I imagine they go "oh look if we take out the hotel stay it'll save x amount"
Having spoken to a senior cc manager the other day he said that Kiev is a turnaround because of insurance purposes and that apparently the insurance company will not cover pilots and cc to stay in Kiev. When I mentioned about the cc not having rest he said they are meant to have rest. So what management know about what happens and what actually happens seem to be 2 different things.
