Once people start leaving in droves, and I believe that time is only a couple of years away, it will be too late for BA because they will have let things deteriorate so badly that they simply cannot stem the flow of pilots to other airlines.
Where are we all going then? Which other airline is so much better that we will be leaving “in droves”. Very few BA pilots want to work overseas. Very few BA pilots want a SH only existence. So where are we all off to?
There are few better options for a UK based pilot, unless you want to be an A320 Captain with ezy/TUI etc based in the regions. The LH pay and conditions are no better elsewhere. I can only see junior SH captains leaving.
BA know this full well. Despite the angry talk very few people leave. There isn’t much else out there.
