The DEP recruitment asked for anyone with a type rating on either the 737, 757/767 or 777 or the A320.
This application closed yesterday.
Why would they now take guys straight out of training school when they could advertise for crew with so many hours, airline experience but who don't have the necessray type-rating. Am pretty sure there's lots of us who would apply and pay for the type-rating - after all pretty much every other airline asks you to. BA would be no different.
Oh, and am pretty sure that any of the OAT graduates who got offered a job would take it!
