If you are serious, then you should know that a poster here who was actually involved in the development of the Sleeper Service has explained that saving money was not part of it. And how can there be fewer crew? All the outbound flights are day flights, and all the crew who flew out on the day flights have to fly back.

This is what makes me suspect that this post is a troll. BA exists in large part to carry business people from one place to another, where they then have to go to work. The Sleeper Service was put there and is still there because this is what the profitable load - those paying $5K and not those in award seats - wants.
You didn't have to accept the Sleeper Service if you didn't want it. If you didn't know what it was, you obviously never bothered to ask when you were told that the flight was a Sleeper Service.
