I know a lot of people at BA on all LH fleets and know nobody that has done more than 750 hours full time.
Utter nonsense.
I can assure you, from personal experience, that this is very much
NOT the case. Many long haul pilots in BA are right up on the limits, constantly.
Don’t be fooled that this is somehow through personal choice either. If you’re senior enough to get triplines inevitably you’re working at or over CAP (to try and avoid Force Assign - where BA can plant a trip across that special event that you’d carefully bid to be off for) then you’ll be damn close to 900hrs. It’s utterly inconceivable that JSS is going to lighten the workload (although FA will be a thing of the past, in theory. In practice these trips will be ‘optimised’ onto rosters, no longer attracting the extra money they currently do). Frankly, the only thing that will improve our lot is more pilots and they cost money, so we will never have enough.
So, to sum up, either they’re lying or you are.
