My memory of names is bit thin, but yes quite a few ex BA pilots came across to BAF. Most were aged 55 so had taken redundancy/retirement from BA. BAF had become an ad-hoc charter leasing company & did their own holiday flights. Hence some went off to Libya where HF was a requirement. BAF also did the Shell contract Aberdeen to Sumburgh for quite a few years. Rwy 33 with a slight tail wind on base leg was kind of fun.
