RAT 5,
Right, "we' need X amount of crews to cover this summer's programme, how many crews are we going to need for the winter programme?
Well we haven't got a clue, commercial won't let us know until September, just employ contractors for the summer season.
September ... Wow, the tour operators are up for it, we can keep 80% of the contractors on for the winter season, come March we'll let you know about next summer ... and so on.
Getting the message?
