Give me a break.

WJ didn't even offer to refund the flight costs or offer any credit. Simply --- get on the bus or wait days. You can't even put a price on the negative exposure this garnered them. Reputational damage to the extreme.

WJ simply can't recruit / retain enough crew because they are leaving en mass to the other airlines. They have tails. They simply don't have crew, or crew positioned properly which is 100% on them. You're telling me the couldn't find a suitable tail to do a quick return? 4 hours end to end with another fin that could have saved them a massive amount of mess. 100% a crewing issue even if they tell you otherwise. They know that won't fly with APPR so they call it unscheduled maintenance.

Someone needs to submit a complaint and force the proof on that.
