I think your loyalties may be slightly misplaced Anti-Ice. Just been chatting with a mate who's switched short haul to long haul. Been in the company 3 years, is taking home on average £2000 per month and enjoying doing much less work for much more money with bunk rest on almost every sector (1.5 hours on a 6 hour JFK recently). Sacrifices have been made by crew in the last two years, but with the exception of one crew memeber less on the aircraft (which was accompanied by a reduction of about 40 passengers due to dusking the aircraft) those sacrifices haven't been made by LHRWW.
