I was in the hood pool when Monarch went bust, and no one jumped the queue to the best of my knowledge.
As doubtless you know, seniority is king at BA, which essentially starts with your sim assessment date. That is the order in which start date offers are given (fleet/LH/SH specific of course, depending on requirements).
And so I’d expect BA to follow that script this time. They got a bit of stick for not doing what VS did, who made a big noise about offering opportunities to Monarch pilots, but as Wiggy says, the company are very process driven.
And the reality is that Virgin likely made a noise to generate some good
PR, and the number of MON pilots they took on ahead of those they had already assessed was probably very very small...
