As an ex-LBAer sorry to hear the grim news. When I was at LBA (early 90's) BMA was the dogs bo!!ocks, shame it's gone downhill a little.
You might want to drop a note in the Flight Ops / Crewing Forum, I think alot of this adding extra duties on to a duty and been told on report goes on else where...your not alone...see what reaction you get, their is a few guys from the "Low Cost" market knocking about in there - aim at getting there view.
Hope things improve,
Cheers
