Let us all know how you get on.
I think the point you're missing is that there are many highly competent potential A350 LHS who have not only been a captain for years, but would also work for a lot less than PP24. The DFO and certainly IAG's shareholders would be most interested in that.
See, eg, RAF A330 pilots who have been doing a more demanding job for a third of the money.
It's BALPA/organised labour rather than any special flying talent endowed by staying at BA for 30 years that stops you being replaced by the itinerants above.
