757 Driver,
Do you really think that BA didn't factor in the 25% slot loss - my guess would be that they knew exactly what they would have to give up before it all started - they had been talking to the EU for ages.
As flight deck we obviously have far too much time on our hands - these subjects are for the bean counters - it is not part of our remit and winners and loosers can not take responsibilty for any of it - all of that is purely in the domain of those in a different part of the tree.
Hand Solo,
How much time do BASH spend away from base? Efficiency is one thing but, the mid haul routes are semi LH and more crew hungry. The efficiency is not flight deck responsibilty. We get one less day off a month, so actually spend more time at work - most of us would gladly agree to better useage of our time for the extra day off ( if we get it ).
