HA HA HA indeed! All BA pilots are continuously driven to be more 'productive'. More significant changes coming for SH next year. That's before EASA ignore the scientists to crank up the workload ever higher. We have 3700-3800 pilots at the moment. The Airbus is over crewed, and we are already flying two new fleets. Further additions will, by and large be replacements rather than expansion hulls. I predict BA pilot numbers will peak well below 4000, before falling back to where we are now. Just in time for Vueling's 60 plus new A320s to take over the rump of BA's SH operation.
It may even prove to be a mistake to rule out A350s being operated by non mainline crews on behalf of IAG?
Change is definitely coming to BA!
