Hi members,<\/p>\n

The OPSGROUP Covid-19 SuperManual is ready!<\/strong> Before we get into it, a BIG thank you<\/strong> to everyone that took part in this huge effort. The team here received 100 or so individual Operations Manuals and Flight Ops Bulletins, and that\u2019s what this \u2018Super Manual\u2019 is: a collation of all of the group knowledge and procedures around Covid.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is OPSGROUP at its best<\/strong> – you guys coming together to share your piece of the puzzle, and then we put them all together and get the full picture out to the whole group. So, well done everyone!<\/p>\n
