Equally if BA were paying market rate for fuel last year when oil was $150 per barrel we'd have been bankrupt. You can't have it both ways. If you hedge fuel you need to take the ups AND the downs.
Your claim that BA crew earn less than Easyjet crew is ridiculous. I've flown with plenty if ex Easy crew and they don't agree with you. The suggestion is laughable so drop it.
The £26M pilots are saving isn't going to save the company, it's a sop so that others can't say were not giving anything. If the most efficient group in the company have to contribute theres no excuse for the least efficient not to. As for 'restrictive' practices, do you know what the LGW hotac budget is, and how much it saves over having LGW based 777 pilots? The whole cost is less than a single disruption caused by crew having 2 local nights after a diversion.
