Purely a result of the WSJ article, the GCAA has said The Airline that can not be named lays over, so must you, as you operating the pairing unlawfully. Coincides nicely with the withdrawal of the briefing timeline demonstrating the above.
Expect the OMA to change a long time in the future when it's blown over for loss of face.
For all the TC's bluster at the Annual Results, he knows he's broken a lot of the rules by playing fast and loose with safety and regulatory compliance. He also knows they have pissed off the staff so much they are talking to the papers and the other regulatory bodies. Reaction, too little, too late in my opinion from a management so arrogant they think they can run rough shod over the worlds norms.
The Chickens are coming home to roost, it's sad it had to go that far and the airline has been acting internally like its at the point of chapter 11
