So what savings have BA flight crew offered on the LHR - SYD route?
Do you really need two Captains on the LHR - SIN - LHR sectors?
What about the two Club seats 60A/B that have to remain unsold just in case one of you wants to watch a film?
Two 747 flights to SIN every night, four Club seats that can't be sold each way. 1460 Club pax denied a seat with a fare of £2500 (BA.com fares for June) average each both sectors = £7,300,000 potential loss of revenue annually. And the flight Crew have bunks as well. This loss of revenue is just so that they can choose to watch a film or not!
Not only does it look bad having staff sitting in passenger seats, many customers would prefer to sit in those seats.
This is where the breathtaking arrogance of BA pilots on this forum, who criticise other employees for not cutting their pay or getting to market rate, is exposed. Pilots act as strikebreakers, yet their own union agreements as illustrated here over Club rest seats, is costing BA millions in lost revenue.
