Ladies & Gentlemen, we are so deeeep in the sh*t regarding pilot numbers, that regardless of the roster system, we're going to get crap rosters, and it ain't gonna change anytime soon.
I suspect that heads will roll soon in the bouncy castle as promulgated in Timmy's latest missive about a 'review' of the organisation. There's no more wheels left to come off and now the blame game starts, along with all sorts of infighting as TCAS slithers off back to the UK.
Incompetence at its very best...
