411A,
Sorry mate but you seem to be speculating on work rates and scheduling matters without all (any of?) the facts.
I work in BA shorthaul but know a little more than you seem to about BA longhaul. After working for 15 years as a pilot I have never worked so hard in such a sustained manner as I have in BA. I have only been with BA for the last few years and I have seen two other operations before I got here so feel qualified to draw comparisons. BA gets its pound of flesh from its pilots.
So whats your gripe? What does it matter to you if people express concern over their eroding T&Cs? I don't know where you work or what you do but unless you can come up with some startling insight into your own work 'ethic' don't criticise others.
