EPIC MATHS FAIL
So, say 70 aircraft in SH, you reckon there are 280 cabin crew in Eurofleet?
There may only be 4 (or 6) CC on an A319 at any one time, but there are dozens more sat on standby, on days off, at Wimbledon, or sick (or both), Dransing out to VIE, double Dransing it on 1-out-1 back Lyon standovers, on 'availables' etc etc.
It's precisely because there are too many CC per A319 that BA are in such a mess! Compare the total amount of CC MPE Hrs paid for, per hull, or per sector operated, to other airlines and you will be shocked.
Or in 'clearspeak';
There are too many EF Cabin Crew paid to be sitting about doing nothing productive at any one time. That is the problem!
