A lot of people getting their knickers in a twist about this SH command before LH command rumour on the FCH forum. I’m sure BA would love to do that, but it’s a mathematical impossibility within their fleet. They have far more LH P1 seats to fill than there are SH P1 seats, especially as LH expands back to the pre Covid network, they simply cannot funnel all LH commands through SH first.
In answer to your question it’s still a hard no, I did not join BA to do Short Haul. I’d done it for far too long at Flybe, Wizz and easyJet and had to do another 7 years as a result of Covid at BA. I have no wish nor desire to live in the U.K. so I’d sooner be frozen on my current pay and do Long Haul than ever go back to SH regardless of seat.
