Personnel requirements are often a bit off and that's not much of a problem, we can't ask everything to be extremely precise. Indeed, I usually petition against absolute accuracy.
However, sometimes it really doesn't make any sense.
I just added 7 A321-F on 7-day schedule, flying 6 routes (tech-stops).
And, just as an example, the system asks me to add... 400 guys in the Flight Operation Division !!! :o
If they work 40hrs / week, that's 95 people constantly working on 7 planes / 6 routes.
That's 13,5 people per plane, working 24hrs a day.
Even if we have 1 person constantly (24hrs) working on each separate route on each separate plane, that's 176 people (and a few more for the holidays).
Well, that's more than a bit off, I think.
So, someday, when you'll have time for something not vital, it would be nice to rework the figures. Either increase the salaries, or something like equivalent.
Thanks! :)
i will quote Sami, out of context, regarding an HR issue: "Not a bug. Works as intended and this ... number is based on actual data." :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
on a less humourous note: i do agree with you, the whole HR thing should be revised. retirement numbers, wages, and most of all, HR demand.
