Well I guess that's what Columbus is out to achieve. Personally, and I know of quite a few crew who agree with me, I'm prepared to work harder. But I'm not prepared to take a pay cut.
Just out of interest, how do you do a 4 day 14 sector trip? As far as I know, BA pilots don't do that. I'll double check that with my friend who's an Airbus SFO though. Certainly the pilots on the BUD/TXL 3 day trip I did the other day weren't doing anything like that. It was 4 sectors for them too!
