“Dug their own grave” - give me strength.... Obviously still plenty of pilots willing to live the horrible 787 existence. The cabin crew became QCCA/QDom/MAM 15+ years ago. The LAMEs have seen their total workforce size go backwards. The pilot workforce is growing.
Amazing that the 787 could have given a “30% productivity increase” to quote FLightDeck above. If this is accurate then the non-787 long haul terms and conditions must’ve been horribly unproductive to begin with.
