Just as an aside on turnaround times.
At Go (and Buzz) there is pre-assigned ticketed seating for 148 pax (higher density than BA). More often than not the bars have to changed (domestic to international are different).
On board cleaning down route is by the cabin (and sometimes flightcrew) but on return to base the cleaners come on board with hoovers etc. The cabin crew also have to cash up their on board sales.
We operate BA procedures for briefing, checklists, walkarounds etc. So; things aren't actually much easier than in full service.
Its not black magic to do a 25min turnaround and I am sure BA pilots do it just like anyone else. It usually depends on the pax - 148 off, 148 on in 25 mins really is very hard. Often as not the flightdeck is waiting for the pax/loadsheet than the other way around.
Then you cop a 30 minute slot or 4 times around the hold at TALLA and you wonder why you bothered!
Oh and BTW we actually have a
six sector day.
