Just tried to get the number of shifts that crews were down to a single TFO, or grounded due to a lack of a pilot, over the last twelve months, via FOI to West Yorks.
Too difficult, came the reply. They'd have to ask each Base for their figures and that would exceed the 20 hours work for a FOI question.
I was very surprised that this info is not collated by NPAS direct from their daily reports from Bases.
