I know there are now probably more junior staff and more part time staff, so number of staff does not represent productivity well.
The issue is AC on one hand publishing such data to pretend things are back to normal, on the other hand keep using staff shortage as the excuse whenever it suits them. I hope there is an internal report better assesses the current situation and come up with more realistic improvement plans. If this report is what AC truly believes, I take that AC has no ability and no interests in improving their operations.
