To all who want to join, keep a close eye on this thread over the next few months. It will be extremely telling.
If if things go as I expect, these are my predictions. Call it an educated guess.
Practically no-one will leave a command anywhere else to go to BA in either SH or LH.
No FO from the usual suspects will even entertain joining BA short haul (future “cadets”, your time may have come).
No FO from the usual suspects aged much over 30 will want to come to longhaul as the junior lifestyle will not be compatible with young family life (not sure it is currently either to be fair).
There will always be exceptions, I appreciate that. My bet is most of those exceptions will have become fed up with opening the curtains in the morning and seeing beige. They’ll be the ones who’ve made their money.
I think BA’s day of reckoning is close.
