I am afraid that you will get a very distorted view of any compay by listening to the often extreme views of the disaffected few posting anonymously on PPRUNE.

I do not just refer to BA pilots either.

The issue of 'force draft' has arisen because it was rarely used. Until recently I was 'force drafted' once in 18 years. Opinions vary as to the current cause of force drafting being used more than infrequently but overall the numbers are very small and the issues causing the problem will be addressed by the joint BA/BALPA scheduling committee.

I am probably correct in saying that we have the most stable and sacrosanct rostering system in the UK.

If you truly are looking to leave the military then PM me and I will give you an honest account of what can realistically be expected - warts and all.
