Hi

with the new minimum rest periods on a relatively short (LH) sector, say JFK-LHR, and no adjustment of crew compliment, time available to conduct meal services will be tighter with less opportunity for other activities in the cabin.
Sorry to sound like a dog that's got hold of a bone but I'm genuinely curious about this. I can't see any reference in our supposedly EASA compliant Ops manual as to requirements for mandatory rest periods or breaks on the likes of a LHR-JFK, and I've heard no mention of the same (yet) from any of the cabin crew I've worked with on the several "short" longhaul sectors I've done since EASA came in at BA. If I've missed it apologies but you know what getting info out of iPads is like at the moment

If you are able to send the relevant Ops manual Ref by PM I'd appreciate it (and I'll leave this topic alone) - that way I'll be armed if the subject comes up in my next "short" long haul sector...
