I doubt that they will do so much PR with these flights. They did it with minimal fanfare when they did the Greece flight last 2011. The A330 might just be the best aircraft for this as it can accommodate as much passengers, with the least disruptions.

How does PR choose the roster/group of cabin crew who'll fly this "rescue" flights? Is it chosen or is it volunteered? I'm quite curious since these kind of flights are usually tiresome and quite emotionally draining.

Numbers are in the 800+ so let's say a mono A330, it'll need 2-3 flights to bring all of them home.
