TaDaaa!... an extra 10 or more red lanyard wearing crew per day available, courtesy of the HKCAD.
Add to that MOR censorship, probably ASR-F screening, and voila: problem solved. Where's my bonus?
A quick look tells me:--
RTOW for 23L EDDL 30c nil wind etc = 328.9 tonnes Flap 20
The Landing weight limited TOW is 333 tonnes ( 251 + 82 burn = 333 tonnes ) pretty close.
Typical Total fuel required = 93 tonnes
Therefore MZFW around 236 tonnes which is close to the MZFW... ( 328.9 - 93.0= 235.9 )
Can't see to much problem there, they will be able to have almost MZFW which is similar to EDDF if you check the archived CFP's.
Almost the ideal sector for the ER...

ACMS,
the RTOW is one thing, but have a look at the DUS notams 316 T is all you are allowed to depart at...at least until the notam expires, which is before Sept 1, but you never know!

Easy. LHR and FRA are in the process of being insidiously converted to 3 man crew, the rest of Europe will follow shortly. Layover duration remains unchanged.

Topbunk........I suggest to enjoy your very close retirement and shut up, they don't fly four time a month on east direction, 800 hrs every year, screwing up the body clock all the times, this is unsafe because of fatigue.

Iceaman50, could you please explain why I should give up? Because I'm worried to be tired for the next 25 years and probably die before retirement? I still like this job and I'd like to see improvements , not a constant degradation to save money for the bean counters

I think TopBunk knows as he works for BA. BA are 3 man all year round to HKG. The only 4 man BA schedule I believe is Singapore and Buenos Aries, 2 Skippers and 2 F/O's, one operating and one augmenting.

Like others have hinted, at CX we have to do regional flights, sometimes (often) at night, sometimes just the day before a long haul flight.
And to Europe, we only get 24h to 30h rest.
Remember the note "rest between 18h to 30h should be avoided" in the AfTLs? It's what we get all the time...
