Don't forget Xmas reserve, and if there were only 30 P2 trips last Xmas then it was a good year. There were more than that in 2004. I think you may be a little insulated from the true horrors of BA at LHR if you are on the 777. The Airbus guys may only (?!) be flying 730 hours per year but I can tell you from bitter experience that a 3 sector day through LHR could be a lot more stressful and demanding than a 5 sector day operating through a regional airport. Also for those 730 hours of actual flying there'll be about 1250 hours of duty time, all of which gives other departments in the company the chance to f*** you about! There's a reason anyone with a sniff of seniority is getting off the fleet!
