All US layovers to 48 Hrs.?
Latest info from the galley radio is that TD supposedly announced at a recent cabin crew "forum" type gathering that TC has declared all US layovers are going to 48 Hrs, plus IST, ATH and CAI are becoming layovers. Reason supposedly is that TC is sick of all those fatigue reports as they are damaging the brand.
Any truth to this? Or is this another carrot dangling manoeuvre to keep cabin crew and pilots from resigning for another couple of months until this eventually turns out to be false?
I very much doubt that we have the crews to stem this enormous increase in needed crews, both on flight deck and CC...
Also very telling (if true) that TC is more concerned about the health of his "brand" than the health of his people. But then again, since MF retired no one in senior management cares about people anymore anyways. It's all about profit and brand value.
