Do the crews who fly BA 767's longhaul also operate BA 757/767 shorthaul routes?
Also, are the crews who operate the MAN-JFK service London or Manchester based?
Cheers

AFAIK, BA pilots are dual rated and fly both types.
There are no MAN-based 767 crews, the MAN-JFK-MAN flight is crewed by LHR 757/767 pilots (who I assume get up and down on the BA shuttle).
It used to be the case that the LHR crews did LHR-JFK (overnight) JFK-MAN (overnight) MAN-JFK (overnight) JFK-LHR, though I believe the 767 no longer operates JFK flights from London and so the crews must position on a domestic flight.

We do indeed operate all the 757 and 767's long and short haul, the MAN-JFK service is crewed by LHR based pilots and a typical trip would be;
day 1- position LHR-MAN-n/stop
day2- MAN-JFK
day3- JFK-MAN
24 hrs off in MAN
And then do it all again, arriving in MAN v.early day7 to jump on the first shuttle back to LHR.
