Thats what I mean, if CC can operate that flight, why dont the very flexable pilots do the same, am sure its not the longest flight in the airline world, I thought the pilots were on side to saving the company.
But BA nor their pilot's set the FTL's they are set in law? The SNN stop is necessary for fueling outbound due to the weight restrictions the A318 will have departing LCY. This I think is what makes the route too long for a single opp. Willing to be corrected though I doubt the Pilot's fancy SNN for the night if it were avoidable.
