They only have 9 A333s and 2 A332s, 6 of which are less than 5 years old(they got 3 last year). They have plenty on order to replace A330s and start new routes. The A333 and 787s will co-exist for awhile.

However, with the FAs so against working long-haul trips that are 3-4x weekly because of the short layover they are given, we could see little long-haul expansion for awhile. Better fan out the flames first! BR needs to solve the current situation regarding routes like BNE(which is 4x weekly) before they start adding more fuel to the fire. FAs do not feel respected as their fellow pilots are given significantly longer trips and layovers compared to them!
