Req for information ref crew compliment BA / Virgin

Good morning,
Can someone please substantiate the following:
BA and Virgin Atlantic are to reinstate 4 man crews to Asia as opposed to the practice of 3 man crews for the past few years.
If true can anyone supply reasoning behind such.
Interested as "swoosh" brand ex HKG going the other way.

Just like Cough I've heard nothing..

FWIW BA Long Haul went to EASA compliant Flight Time Limitations wef Feb and there's been zero change to any crewing as a result, so it's still 3 to/from HKG.
