Hi everyone!

What does it mean “three more three-person crews, week schedule slips, etc”

Thx

2

‘Three more’ means ‘another three’. In your first example, each crew is made up of three people, but three more/additional/extra (three-person) crews are needed, that is, nine more people.

Thanks.

This was the sentence:“Three more three-person crews and a mechanic will assist…” and I am not sure of the meaning of it. Does it mean six-person crews?

4

A three-person crew is a group of three people who need to work together. There will be three additional groups (of three people each), in other words nine more people. On top of that, there will be a mechanic. Therefore, ten more people will assist (help).

Let me know if you’re still not clear.

oh, thanks!

I really didn’t know that. I thought it means three plus three (=six) persons. Thanks again.
