It will be very interesting to see how short they will get this year, every summer it was always "this summer it will fall apart" but somehow they managed. Allowing no leave and getting mugs in to work days off I suppose! The problem now is there is so many job opportunitys around. I hear through the grapevine that 30 or so captains and the same amount of FOs in STN alone have other things confirmed - Jet2/Easy/China/NLH and a lot of FOs still sitting in the BA hold pool. Interesting times! Will that improve the Ts n Cs........of course not!!!! They are too stubborn for that!
