Not a BA pilot, but waiting for similar or worse (much) at my LCC. We will see what take up there is on VR but sort of agree with Ollie that it will not be enough this time. What would help, if BA had a mind to, is agreement to Priority Return lists in place of a hold pool. Two, one for command one for FO. A commitment to approach in seniority list order when things recover, which they will, and help on currency. The biggest fear for pilots is loss of career, not job, which many of us have done several times already.
