So why, in the previous 38 pages, is so much energy being expended on crew health/crew config./crew rest/crew pay etc, on what (at least in respect to the next contract period and possibly beyond) at best is a notional project?
What is being missed here?
There would be little point in asking aircraft and engine makers to research, develop and produce an aircraft capable of flying these routes with a meaningful load if the passengers and crew can't handle it.
There were rumours some time ago that BA had asked Airbus to develop a version of the A350 that could do LHR-SYD but that seems to have died.
