An increase in seat density on short haul Airbus out of LHR and LGW is worrying - that's 2 inches of legroom lost per seat. Unless the seats are going to have thinner seat backs, a net loss of passenger space while passengers continue to grow taller!

Might BA be fitting spacesaver seats with thinner seat backs?

One comment piqued my interest - "Right-size First on new aircraft types". Does that mean a smaller F cabin on future planes than we currently have (e.g. could we see a 6-8 seat F cabin on the 787-9) or am I reading too much into that comment?

I might have misheard the presenter (I didn't have the best connection) but I think she said that this meant it would be an 8 seat F Cabin on the 787-9

I don't like the line about Competitive ground handling overseas and retenders on slide 38. I assume it means outsourcing to third party handlers at more airports.
Perhaps good from a cost perspective, but for example, avaipartner at AMS are horrible. They have a poor knowledge of the BA product and have no sense of pride in the airline, they're just doing a job.
I also wonder what the enhanced disruption process on slide 66 is about. Will we finally be better served during IROPS? A dedicated call team perhaps, or the ability to rebook at a kiosk or with the app a la DL/KL??

Thanks, interesting to hear. I guess that'll make F redemptions tougher to find in the future but on the other hand means they will be smaller and quieter cabins so it is not all bad news.
