If they don’t want to commute then they can pick from 4 A330 bases and avoid the supposedly ‘appalling’ 787 and retain bidding seniority .
Re productivity - poductivity can be measured many ways. I have no idea how 35% was arrived at. Do you? The ceo might choose a figure that gives a high number so as to give a nice headline and send a signal to the market and other workgroups. I haven’t worked how more or less productive the 787 is. Even if 35% is accurate, it shows how unproductive the 747 and A380 might be since the CAO limits still apply to the 787.
