CFC, look, please stop being ridiculous about the very minor adjustments to company managed staffing levels....every BA staff member has flown on a longhaul sector even if just as a passenger- we have ALL seen with our own eyes what your job entails, how small a percentage of the overall flight-time you actually spend in the cabin/galley working and how it has become standard practice to take bunkrest/breaks that are not rostered by BA.....all this with way more crew members pottering about inboard than lots of other carriers have.... Do you REALLY expect us to believe that taking one crew member off and getting the CSD out of his 'office' to cover the missing crew members work is 'mayhem'? Even on the VERY rare sectors where 2 come off, get real!!!! Your job is not rocket science, but it does take discipline, and motivation.....on all our flights where passenger and crew safety and health are jeopardised by this miniscule change to your Market leading working practices, I put it to you that it is explicitly on account of Your poor discipline and Your poor motivation. No-one else thinks/says it's mayhem, perhaps some retraining and an attitude amelioration? ...it means improvement
