quote 'skylion'
"BA shorthaul suffers disproportionate knockons from disruputions because the aircraft, tech crew and cabin crew are all rostered separately. Crew and aircraft seldom stay together for the next sector out of LHR . This is compounded by cabin crews minimum turnaround time agreements which illogically and expensively treat LHR differently from any other point on the network."

Oh skylion , grow up
We had operated a 8 hr duty day with a link , which was retimed for our 3rd sector to nightstop.
We had a 50 min break reduced to 23mins at the CAT lounge , and had been so busy on the preceding 2 sectors , we had no break whatsoever ALL DAY , plus a delay with passengers onboard...
So are you telling everyone , that despite you being sat on your *** a**e all day , that the cabin crew should be on their feet for 12-14 hours with no 'getting away from it' whatsoever ?
We don't scuttle off with handfuls of newspapers to read all flight - we work ,. .try to have a little appreciation and wind your neck in..........
Perhaps if we removed your flight deck seats and made you stand all flight, you may see things from a different perspective....
