Question aimed at BA pilots. I am a current 320 captain at a well known orange airline, 1000PIC, 5000TT. Still have a longhaul itch that I might want to scratch at some point in the future which I cannot fulfill at my current airline. BA obviously offers options for short and long haul to tickle any future itches when my kids are older and I don’t want to regret not leaving earlier when I could. If I were to jump ship to BA, would I be completely mad? Also I assume there are never any DEC positions that come up so would I go in as FO at paypoint 1 and bottom of the seniority pile or is there discretion to go in at a higher PP? Would I have to wait for my seniority number to come up to get my command back, be it short haul or long haul? I am pretty clueless about how it all works in a seniority based airline and don't know how rigid it so I would like peoples thoughts and insights please. Thanks in advance 👍
