can you put that in level6 English, please?

I guess you are offended by someone observing the desperate towing exercise to cover up the blunderbus surplus. Sure enough these units go flying at a certain time. They need to be operated due to leasing issues. But please, up to a few weeks ago we never saw such numbers parked. They might eventually go to the emptied stands, once all T7s went working, and await a rare flight. But they were grounded for a time that exceeds by far the normally operative level.
So excuse me for pointing out the difference in the leave situation (or for that matter unpaid leave situation) on different fleets. A tiny amount of fatalistic sarcasm should be allowed, if some of us work their butts off while others enjoy a lot of days off and seem to be more able to get unpaid leave (or normal leave for that matter). It would pass more easily if it were not accompanied by pure denial of what this surplus of guzzling animals have done to the company, our wallets and now the T7s jockeys time off.
The 380 is a disaster, has always been called that, apart from management and some suffering from the shiny "super" syndrome.

Today it simply shows. Any denial is Trumpesque.
