fruitbat - another Bin Laden event would hurt all airlines. My point was merely that being at the bottom of a list is an inhibiting factor in deciding to move employers during these uncertain times - which is what would be involved for DEP recruitment.
No doubt BA will be able to attract plenty of pilots for its ranks.
I just don't think it will be a stampede as it has in the past. Mind you - if they bring back the final salary pension then that would sway a lot of people.
Cheers
