It all rather turns on what you mean by "near term" BL. Anyone who has a relationship with BA would be well advised to regularly count the spoons. Why the RAF should wish to involve itself in a scheme with any particular company, managed path or not, is a question best reserved for another thread perhaps, but again the words Vested Interests come inexorably to mind. No-one knows how long the hit to the airlines will be post Covid-19. No-one knows how long it will take to turn around the fiasco that is UK Military Pilot Training. If the two don't coincide then either the RAF will be overstocked with surplus pilots or indeed severely short of them yet again. I say again, where is the advantage to the RAF in dealing with BA rather than with individual pilots and the individual deals it makes with them? This is a buyers market as far as employing pilots is concerned. Time the buyer started acting accordingly.
