Why not a handling trip? Just dumb IMHO.
Ha! I had that last year. Augmenting to Japan, 3 weeks leave, next 2 trips after leave augmenting Japan, augmenting MLE turn. Clueless. It was quite a funny conversation when I called to ask if they thought there might be any issues with this? "Ummmmm.....no Captain"
I left it to them and then the evening before the Japan trip after leave I get a call to tell me I'm now operating. Only took them the 3 weeks I was on leave to figure that one out. Surely with all the limitations built into the rostering system they could have included one about flight crew recency requirements.
Can't believe how late they have left it to bin the LGW. It would appear this place is running on headless chicken mode at the moment. No foresight, no real planning, knee jerk reactions on an almost daily basis.
