Airlines making much less money than BA are offering far superior recruitment options. One only has to look at the insulting pay offer from BA to realise that Cruz isn't interested in investing in people. Insincere emails thanking me for my hard work over the summer don't pay my mortgage. It's not a dig at the recruitment team, incidentally, who I know work tirelessly (themselves under-resourced) and want to offer excellent opportunities. I have nothing but respect and admiration for their tenacity in a climate of cost cutting at all costs. But you can hardly blame people for being more than slightly disappointed by what's on offer (especially those who still don't have a spare £18k lying around).
