Whilst impressed with T5 and with the flight and cabin crew, as always, I simply could not believe how many staff there were at the gate during boarding. I counted ten gate staff for a 767. Ten FFS!!
There are not this many required for boarding any aircraft.
BA should be looking at efficiency (and rather large savings) in those areas before any flightcrew would be affected. No doubt BALPA will be saying exactly the same thing, with good reason.
They are looking at ALL areas, so no one escapes.
