I thought BA was offering part time working with few strings as part of FSAS or FSAS2 to reduce the head count?.
While i support this as it protects jobs and i believe 10% of flight crew are currentl on part time working ( as opposed to 0% in engineering where it was NEVER offered at all ) it still doesnt seem very good business sense to then recruit full time replacements.
From a non pilot perspective again - it takes many years to train an engineer fully and at considerable cost,BA would still be happy if we ALL left ASAP
As DBW points out part time has many benifits,from a BA business point of view though this strategy seems extremely flawed.
