gotajob4us,
I fail to see the reason for the comparison with other flag carriers? What makes you think British Airways is the flag carrier for the UK (do virgin & bmi not also paint flags on their aircraft? Surely a comparison should be done with a similar competitor based in the same economic area?
Virgin pilot's are as productive as BA's pilots and at probably half the cost.
Hot Wings,
900hrs per year on long haul is not difficult to achieve, let's face it going in a straight line for 9-12hrs is hardly stressful and if you are stressed by this then you should have stayed shorthaul!
I applaud your T&C's, think they're great and would love to be on them myself but I live & work in the real world and unfortunately I think you chaps will too in the not too distant future.
