Apologies for the thread drift but to correct a piece of mis-information:
BA FOs who can wait a decade and a half for a sniff of a command.
That used to be the case, in fact in the early to mid 90s I met FOs who had waited 20 years for command. I joined late 89 and got a SH command after 10 years and three years later a LH command. Now, or until this virus arrived, commands on some fleets can be had after just a few years.
