Really, is that what it is about?

The BBC have a helpful 'Q&A: What's the BA dispute about?' piece but I didn't get far into it before I found an error. The BBC claim:

'What is at the heart of the dispute?

In November, BA reduced the number of cabin crew on long haul flights from 15 to 14 and introduced a two-year pay freeze from 2010.'

Near the end of the piece you do find this line 'The airline has said flights from London City Airport will not be affected, and long-haul flights to and from Gatwick will also operate..'


So why is Gatwick not affected but Heathrow is? The BBC don't seem interested in pursuing this question, might that be because long haul flights from Gatwick already operate with one less crew-member, something that I was discussing with BA cabin crew before the cancelled Christmas flights. Now why are the BBC so shy of reporting this information?
