Just to go back to what ranks will operate the route. Have been reliably informed that it will be a Cabin Manager as the SCCM. One of the unions are insisting its a CM, as CM's operate as the in charge on all Long Haul flights operated by LGW crew. And if a Purser was to take it out (Not that they aren't very capable of it). It could mean in time the CM rank could be diminished by management.

I.E Well if a Purser can take a long haul flight thats is Club World only from LCY, they can do it from LGW on a 777. Thus dispensing with CM's and the extra pay they get. Management would love for a Purser to be in charge, but longterm it will be totally detrimental to our careers in terms of promotions etc.
