Roughly 85% are transit.....and some of those are rough too! 
Glofish raises a good point. There are certain destinations where Y class is often overbooked so J gets filled with SFU pax. J paying pax then spill into F which ends up full even though there was only one or two to start with. My question is do we as staff pax get our tax back on ticket refunds if we're downgraded into Y from J or F? With only two people departing from UK, that's 160 quid difference in tax!

In business terms TC might deserve knighthood, even from the likes he shafted!
If you look at his peoples skills however ..... A true knight would need some of that as well.
The staff travel-gate of now is just one proof of complete absence of the latter. Just as being the only self appointed legacy carrier that took away jump seat travel. Having a pilot sibling he knows perfectly well that it is only a matter of contempt of pilots (envy?) and nothing else, because it would even increase revenue. Another thing is the bunk saga. Any decent aiine offers a seat for rest and meals, not Timmy. You have to lie for 7h at 10am and if he had it his way, this could be done 4h on, 4h off eternally!! Safety? What is that? Take it or leave it.
On the human level i give TC a dwarfhood.

That said he's made money for the airline so they can expand in the future. I can't comment about internal politics on how the airline is run. I'd leave that to those that run the various depatments.
Compared with some of Cameron's cronies I'd definately say he deserves his knighthood for achievment to the business world.

Wasn't he the muppet quoted in FI a few years back as planning to run the 380 like a submarine? I think his plan was to have the crew basically live on the thing for a few days. He said the crews would love it because the savings in hotel accommodation would be passed onto them...
