numbers to be recruited
This financial year is 127. Good luck to those of you who apply.
By the way, I'm 100% behind getting new DEPs a better pension deal.
Come into this with your eyes wide open. The airline has a great deal to offer and is excellent to work for . . . but be prepared for :
1) working every weekend,
2) no leave during your childrens' holidays,
3) no respect from the management,
4) and being treated with utter contempt by the grossly overpaid cabin crew.
Lord Flashywatzits doesn't really exist, but if you are ex-mil, or a very experienced charter operator, be prepared for some "Senior" FO colleagues to be condescending. No offence, but it's their immaturity and inexperience which leads them to believe that seniority is more important than experience. Problem is . . . BA is driven by seniority.
Let's try and get this bloody pension changed.
Right enough typing!
