So BA looked for people in the following order;
1) 777/747/Airbus Type Rated
Second Round
2) 737/757 Type Rated....
(most of easyjet, baby and ryanair interviewed!)
3) Onto the turboprop people, They trawled through the Flybe people etc
4) Still having found not the right sort, they go to Oxford and Jerez. Still Vacant positions....
5) Finally onto the mil boys.
It seems like BA's DEP has been a total cockup, wasting a lot of peoples time and efforts.
It begs the question...what do BA want!!!!
