yes it was a combo of all of the above - did you work for EXCAB?
Yep hence my comment I think you might be getting the Airlines mixed up. CAA never had an issue at EXC and dispatch crews not used. If they dropped in to Spain for fuel a replacement crew was dispatched so it was a long day but no discretion. In the end if my memory serves me right the load dropped such that it could be operated round trip.
