That is not how it works at BA. If drops were necessary, it’ll be by relative fleet seniority. When the 74 was around, it wouldn’t have been cadets taking over following residencies, if it had stuck around. The first thing you’d see is either training paused, or continued but contract not started until the airline are onboarding once again.
But that being said, I personally don’t believe that there will be huge recruitment ramifications off the back of the Middle East situation right now, it will however likely make LH DEP a bit more competitive perhaps, unless they happy to keep the holdpool expanding.
