BA Opportunities
A friend of mine is in the pool and was phoned by recruitment the other day. They asked him if he would prefer a long or short haul job. Mind you they weren't offering either at the time, just asking.
Has anyone else had a call like this?
As a slight aside...
I have the dubious pleasure of being THE most junior F/O on the B777 fleet at birdseed. Even from where I'm sat, the lifestyle is fabulous. Believe me there is a whole lot more variety than Newark and Riyadh. That said, there is some great mountain biking near the Newark hotel and we don't nightstop in Riyadh anymore.
In addition, the company treat me extremely well and BALPA are there to make sure you're not messed around.
My advice: Try and hold out for a DEP Long Haul seat but make sure you don't give up your chance to get into the company. The shorthaul lifestyle is pretty good too and you'll at least have long haul to look forward to.
Good Luck to all you swimmers,
