... but if I'm high up at BA and my son/daughter/nephew/niece wants to be a pilot. I'm pulling all the strings I can to call in all the favors in the world to get them on the scheme.
Speaking as somebody was at BA for thirty plus years I'm genuinely struggling to think realistically what strings would be available to be pulled, even by a training captain...
Some Sim practise maybe, and you'd expect somebody whose parent was a pilot at BA to be more clued up on the workings of the company than someone who only had the likes of the internet as a resource and so have an advantage at interview but I can't really see the opportunity for anything more sinister than that, not in this day and age...
