British Airways flies planes empty because it lacks flight attendants
British Airways has admitted flying dozens of "ghost flights" across the
Atlantic, with only pilots and cargo aboard (and no passengers), because it doesn't have the crews to staff the flights with passengers: http://www.emailthis.clickability.co...5276864& pt=Y Some of the ghost flights are apparently flown just to keep slots at major airports active, even though every ghost flight burns tons of fuel. Why don't they just hire more FAs? Or--like several other airlines--do they make so much from hauling cargo across the Atlantic that they don't need passengers to turn a profit? |
