Just a thought...
Speaking to various people ( none in BA ), there is a notion that in the recent ( 5 Months !!) recruitment drive not many people have been recruited and offered jobs. They have interviewed hundreds of people.
Could it be that BA are actually just having a look at what's available on the pilot market ?
Could it be that they don't actually need to recruit as many people as we all think ?
It costs them relatively little to open recruitment at Cranebank for a few months. It would be interesting to know some actual figures of how many people have been offered jobs. confirmed ?
Anyway back to the swimming !!
