B-T-S-M. Lets not forget the empowerment felt when FO's get to fill in the fuel remaining figure in the tech log wow, just like being a real pilot.
Still waiting to make a decision in BA, how many years does it take? I have however touched the speed brake, it felt goooood!
BA recruits people who will fit into the corporate jelly mold. Being a good pilot is NOT a factor. Being interested in aviation and flying is NOT a factor. Being a company clone is VERY much THE factor.
If you want a job in BA you have to fit the very specific mold. Being strong willed is not one of them as you will find your inability to change anything very frustrating. It is, what it has always been, is, and always will be.
BA is not for everyone.Not getting into BA might be the best thing to happen to you.
