Look, i've only just scanned your post Carnage, and i'm not going to get in a long drawn out battle over this .
I just take great offence to your original posting stating that BA cabin crew spend 50% of their duty on breaks which is absolute rubbish.
The facts i stated earlier are all true, i only had 3 CAT/compass turnarounds in September, all of which were absolute minimums ( 2X45mins).(1X25mins- we agreed to reduce due to severe disruption).
We get very little/no time to ourselves, given that WE now do all the return catering preps/changeovers downroute on 90% of our routes (when catering fully returns).
A 3 hr turnaround is highly unusual ,and that is from landing to takeoff, so may equate to an 80 min break after everything else is done.This is very rare though , and ive probably had 2 max like that this whole year.
Why you want people to think that we are on continuous breaks beggars belief, but 50% is complete rubbish.
Maybe it is because we do have the odd break/feel refreshed on a 10/12 hour day, is the reason why we score highly in our customers estimations and they return and spend alot of money with us ?
If the crew are happy, it follows that the customers are too.
Its probably also why our competitors lose hundreds of crew to us each year as well.
The CAT lounge in particular is always full of flight crew so why the big issue?
Why you want to begrudge anyone on a 11-12 hr day the opportunity of a sit down for 30-40mins is just unwarranted malevolence..........
Or perhaps you want to see the saving put in your pension pot
