Morning all, Firstly may I commend RexB’s descriptions of both Bidline and JSS to the house....
Paddington..
Unless you have a burning desire to do shorthaul out of London I can’t see why BA would be of interest, though TBF I don’t live the BA shorthaul dream...
As for travelling in Premium cabins.... I’m not sure how the recruiters / advertising sells that benefit but you have a very limited number of those particular tickets and despite everything there are no guarantees about getting on a flight and where you will end up seated (and it can get really difficult if you are travelling as a family ).
Many a staff traveller with First or Club entitlement has ended up on a jumpseat......
