The fact that my post attracted no replies in two weeks is informative I think.
Just spoke with a friend who attended a presentation. Around 12 people including him, at least 50% were over fifty, some closer to sixty. The presenters "announced" the new freighter contract but were careful not to call it a commuting contract. They said it will be on the web by Monday. He detected an air of frustration from the presentation team with management as they simply cannot find enough crew but continue to add routes. They acknowledged that "the guys" are working hard and flying too much, well above the 84 hour target.
Has anyone else attended and got any feedback?
