Ver5pen,
You’ve been given some sound advice.
You do come across as conducting due diligence but there is a statement of I want x y and z from BA or I’m not interested. Fair enough.
The recruiters at interview will be looking at what you bring to BA and how you will fit in. You have to be in keeping with the matrix they have.
Some people here look at the now,
Dare I suggest you think of where you want to be at 60 and work backwards from that?
It sounds as if you’re at Easy ( maybe not) but picture yourself in 30 years time at BA and Easy
Look at the rosters of 777 captains with 30 years seniority look where they live on a part time contract and look at the bottom right hand corner of their payslip after an overtime trip in the month.
Early 30s is probably the cut off to jump or not especially as the music may stop in the not too distant future.
It’s about lifestyle not just the type and salary.
Good luck with your decision please post again in 30 years and let us know how it went.
