I've noticed a lot of Blyth drivers with mentees recently, so once more of them are able to drive solo then the high sickness should be less of an issue.
Nothing that can be done about high driver sickness really, unless you'd want them to work and infect more drivers, leading to even more cancellations?
The cancellations have been rumbling on for months. Of course COVID is going to be used as an excuse.
