It is a blessing in disguise, now everybody working flat out, mostly at night, no leave, bidding system gone south, rubbish actually and a fear culture been driven by guilty until proven innocent. Some of the stories i have heard form pilots been up for tea and biscuits are unbelievable. If DEC come a lot of well qualified F/O will leave, last time none long haul experienced pilots came in, the requirements they met were far less than the internal requirements for F/O, not a very fair system and nothing to so with seniority , anyway rant over good luck to all
