At the moment, it is too easy for people to be stuck having all weekends off, or no weekends off at all. Similarly, the levels of uncovered work, and the seniority being affected by global constraints, is unsustainable beyond the end of this trial.
Having done a couple of trip 2 off patterns. BA can get rid of 3 days off in between trips if they want but if they go back to trip 2 off I’ll be going fatigued every 3rd trip. And I think plenty of others will be doing similar. Trip 2 off just isn’t sustainable and now we know how much better trip 3 off is for mitigating fatigue levels.
BA needs to up headcount that’s the only way to fix GC.
