???? Have you looked at an Airbus bidpack in the last 5 years? A month of earlies on the Airbus and you'll be dragging yourself out of bed at 4am for 6 days in a row to fly four sector days. It won't even be your own bed!
You're not trying to tell me there are no 15-18 hour slips or stand-over days any more are you?
Oh there's a few there, you'll pick them up as frequently as hen's teeth. Would be interested to know how long ago you left BA Wingswinger. Times have clearly changed since you were senior there.
