You could actually agree to be more efficient when at work and negotiate more days off as a result with no loss of pay
That made me laugh. I don't think BA are looking to give us any more days off! If you remember, they actually wanted to take some off us in the original proposal so a system like yours is never going to be on the table for us. (I think we can consider ourselves fortunate not to be down to 9 days off on Euro for now but I suspect it will rear its head again.)
As for being more efficient and working more sectors, I have only 5 days work this month (75%) and 8 available so the chance would be a fine thing. At the moment even a one sector day is better than nothing. It suits the company to split the trips so that the work is spread out amongst the crew; I'm sure you will get your wish to see us working harder when things pick up
