Best GGL Benefit?
What are the advantages of GGL over Gold? I can only see the Jokers as a benefit but do the GGL members find other benefits they would consider valuable?

Totally, once they are outsourced, we'll not be well served I fear.

That is a very subjective matter, and one for you to work out yourself. The link above will highlight many if the GGL benefits and you can then decide for yourself which are valuable.

We cant say that at this stage. Even if there is outsourcing, a GGL Team will still be there, perhaps even the same one.

Is this always the case or is it dependent on the crew?

There are no BoB concessions for GGL, they must pay like everyone else ... but watch this space.
