An airline with some 250 aircraft in service, and it's a long time since I did this, should be employing some 6 or 7 crews per aircraft, that would be some 1,625 crews none of which, it seems, were available to operate a mere 3 hour (ish) round trip to BOD and back!
Google 'Money Claim Online' and sue the b@stards for not employing sufficient crews!
