Blimey, I want to work for your company!!!
I thought the original post was more realistic!
Please do tell how to become a BA or Virgin Captain in less than 20 years.
I think what was inferred there was that people new to aviation would do better talking to an FO, in a company that doesn't pay £147k to experienced Captains, to get a better idea of what HIS or HER job will be.
I know plenty of BA pilots who've been there a while and to be honest the job now bears no resemblance to the job they have (with the accrued seniority, increments, bid line benefits et al)
I think its better to get the real story, warts and all, from FOs.
