The problem that has occured with posting the origional post in this forum is that it should not have been done so and should have been moved. BA are not after pilots with no experience. They're not after the turbo prop pilot yet. They want experienced and specific type rated pilots. And these pilots will be coming from airlines that have better pension provisions than BA now has.
The point being made by some that they would jump at the chance to fly for BA because they're in a second rate communter outfit that has never provided a descent package, is missing the spirit of the origional post.
It is a sad day when the airline that so many have aspired to join because of the percieved kudos, has watered down it's package. So now the pension is little better than the second tier turbo prop operators. As I said earlier, even the jet charter operators offer better conditions. That is what is dissapointing to those that have the required experience.
