Middle Eastern B2B's must be one of the laughable suggestions ever. How are they supposed to save money by introducing additional ones when they are actually rostering fewer of B2B'S because they are expensive and not as effective as they once were?

B2B's to the Middle East would be with current B2B payment in addition to DOA, UK allowances, LHR accommodation and 4 MBTR. How much would it save the company as opposed to roster them two separate trips to the Middle East?

A 6 day B2B with 4 MBTR is 9 days in total. Some B2B's would probably be 7 days as some trips to JED and RUH are 4 days.

Two separate 3 day trips with 3 MBTR is 10 days in total.

With two separate trips they wouldn't have to pay B2B payment, allowances for UK (or DOA) or provide accommodation in LHR.

What am I missing?
