The shortages at BAEF are really emphasised by disprution events. Mainline lists them as FCRY u less there is a direct cause due to weather in which case WEAN, which is fair enough - but the following day assuming aircraft are at base - LGW in this case - should really be a FCRY code. Just my two pennies worth from what I’ve gathered over the past few years of this exercise. Others may of course wish to correct me.
I'm inclined to agree. My WEAN cancellation was 13 hours prior today on the 2546 to AMS. I don't see any major restrictions or conditions on both sides today that would justify this. I get the sense with the sheer scale on LGW cancellations this is a continuation of poor crewing at EF
