Well said folks..I wonder if our friend is thinking of the lifetsyle and career path supposedly enjoyed by the Hamsters and doesn't realise that that gig has gone.

Most pilots at BA have done their fair share of cabin cleaning and the other "one man band" stuff in the civvie world and/or have "endured" the special brand of being overworked and multi tasked that goes with being in the military.

And as my esteemed colleague Buter and others point out out - 17K hours is a tidy amount but it isn't that impressive - A full timer in BA will be there and beyond in 20'ish working years...
