Slightly lateral from the main thread but I noticed today that the BA 235 LHR-DME was operated by a S/h frame G-EUUA. Don't know if this related to the strike or not but I would imagine a QR frame may have been more acceptable for the J class pax rather than a CE layout.

Here we go, from the Unite website http://www.unitetheunion.org/news/ba...g-accusations/
When is a 2 week strike not a 2 week strike? When it is actually for 16 days! No wonder it is misleading when it is discussed as a 2 week strike.

In addition to the strike from 00:01 Saturday 1 July to 23:59 Sunday 16 July, Unite said it would ‘vigorously’ pursue legal action against British Airways to the ‘highest court in the land’ on behalf of 1,400 cabin crew, who were sanctioned for taking strike action in a long running pay dispute.

Perhaps BA was being risk averse.If they flew a QR frame to DME then had a tech problem,they might not be able to get it back before midnight.Whereas uning them on short European sectors no such problem would arise.
There may be many other reasons,only BA would know.

They are more likely to have wanted to avoid "downgrades" to the Y cabin, which could trigger EC 261/2004 payments. (Whereas they do not recognize Club World to Club Europe is a downgrade.)

I had the Al Maha A7-LAA today. Going LHR to ARN. While I can't compare it to the other Qatar planes on wet lease, I couldn't fault it in its own right.
Was an hour late taking off due to it arriving late from Kiev. I was sitting in 3D, the last row of business.
The seat was wide and the legroom plentiful. The food was, I think, Qatar fare. The starter was a large prawn on a bed of sliced melon. Cheese and biscuits and the chocolate dessert were served with the starter.
The main course was a choice of fish or chicken. I had fish, which was with a green pea mash and grilled vegetables. Very tasty.
The beverage choices were juice, small cans (coke etc), beer, red, white, champagne. No G&T was offered and I didn't ask so I assume that drinks was a Qatar array as well. I didn't see what was offered in economy beyond the cans.
Slightly oddly, the condiments, glasses, cutlery, serviettes and even lavatory tissues were BA branded.
The cabin crew were very efficient and keen to top up glasses. However I think they did become distracted by requests for top ups as the plentiful basket of bread rolls were only offered to the front row and never made it back any further.
All in all a very nice and interesting flight. Not bad for a reward saver redemption!
