Yep, but it’s not something that has been permanently built into the “BA way”, it goes in phases and I think ATM we are at “peak brief” ...and don’t forget a “bespoke landing distance calculation”, even into LHR, CAVOK with 10 knots down the strip “because somebody got caught out in Leeds Bradford once....”. I think it’ll change again soon....
And to be fair to BA there are those who still try to give the “Bovingdon , 27L ...” style of brief
into base, OTOH if you are not a regular into some places (which covers a lot of longhaul) is it just possible a snappy LoCo style brief is not appropriate? And if you are getting long winded briefs from some in the LHS on Shorthaul is it possible some of them have recently come across from Longhaul and still finessing their new style?
One things for sure, I’m not convinced you can always claim a > 2 min brief is an automatic “fail”.
