In BA's quest to save money, they have been very clever with both CAP manipulation and the posting of pilots from surplus fleets. This has meant that recrutment has been pushed from sept 04 to jan 05.
The response for type rated pilots for 777 and 747 has been poor, therefore expect to see more freeze waivers from the SHAG fleet onto these types circa jan 04. The 737 trainers have been told to expect 6 DEPs per month from spring 05. Well that was last weeks plan
EDIT Seems that the students from OATS/WMU will be destined for SHAG....... just a guess
