Not sure we need to worry about double-drops and triangle routes nowadays. Though suspect some of these might need it for loads.
BA used to do quite a few (more) even to USA. Perhaps more routes could be generated or sustained, even outweighing inconvenience.

BA still do double-drops.
I see Unite has settled for 13% over 18 months and £1000 one off payment..
Pointedly the BBC news item notes "but pilots and management are excluded from the deal"
Wonder how they will feel with the usual 2%?

I’m cabin crew but ex bmi. We’ve screwed once again. large pay restoration for legacy but despite having us having the biggest cut in covid… we get ignored!! Bullying and intimidation from both company and union
Is being reported elsewhere that the CAA are insisting mandatory ID will need to be presented on BA domestics from 1-Sep. Is the CAA really doing this? I have noted that other airlines who used to enforce passports as a revenue control measure have lessened the need and some carriers who once insisted no longer challenge for ID on domestics. Something amiss?

Some years back, Willie Walsh mooted BA taking some additional A380s if available. A lot of water has gone under the bridge since then, but six Thai A380s (with Trents) are now available. Would it make sense for BA to move for them?

Haven’t these Thai birds been parked outside at BKK for a while and in pretty rough looking state. I can’t see BA going for them.
While I don't know what the deal [is/was] regarding pilots, none of the management grades in BA took a pay-cut during the pandemic, while all non-management grades took at least a 5% pay cut [some departments more than that as grades disappeared and the new grades were on a lower pay-scale] had their T+Cs changed and lost some leave entitlement, not all of which had been re-instated post pandemic, so while the headline figure may look good, it's wasn't the whole picture.
