I also hear that GB have taken on G-BUSJ (an old ex BCAL/BA A320),........... soon, they will have taken all BA short haul under their wing,.......
BA short haul might actually make some money then!!!
As for GB not taking FOs from BA for command training,....... its a separate company, and they would probably take a pay cut in order to fly left seat for GB,...... dont think there would be too many takers,.... and it might upset the unions too!!
