Yes I heard the MIA will become an A380 route soon but was also told by the same person (BA Manager) that the route will return to WW fleet.

Hi arrived in SFO today as was told by the ground staff that SFO is going A380 as well as LAX and as I said previously MIA they are all to be operated by WW fleet apparently because they are worried about the crew in F/C. Also CPT going double for WW.

Are flights to Haneda, Singapore, Seoul operated by all MF crew or were enough people hired who could speak those languages only on those flights?

That's odd about wanting WW crew for MIA because of FIRST. Are they saying they don't trust MF crew with the service? Is just because of the A380?

Mixed fleet have operated lax for around 2 years, it's one of the most important routes for F class. Other MF routes like Kuwait and Lagos are very high yielding routes for first class.

Mixed fleet will operate Cape Town as a double daily from end of October.

Miami returning to worldwide, haven't heard that to be honest but they'd be very welcome to take it!

SFO makes sense but will be a while yet I would think.

BA couldn't care less about the service provided by one fleet or the other is all to do with logistics and costs. They are very worried about the division that the 380 has created inside mixed fleet and how the SIN SYD route is impacting the 777 crew. Funny how these two things that were seen as a triumph for mixed fleet is actually destroying it and really making the crew feel demoralised.

I agree BA don't care about F/C passengers if they did they would provide the catering and equipment to the crew to be able to offer the service that they deserve.

Was only saying about first crew as that what was said to me, I was in no way implying that the crew that worked in first on MF are less superior to WW crew.

Just to add more fuel to the fire also have been told (from union personnel) that the A380 will be leaving MF altogether and replaced with 787, how true this is I do not know but to be honest would not be that surprised.

Very clever from BA too. With Mix Fleet agreements there is no need to give one day off after this trip, which worldwide had, and can be linked to another long haul trip afterwords...
