Interesting to see that BA are recruiting a large proportion of foreign pilots. Currently most are British so there is a change going on.
I wonder if they are not getting the home-grown talent through the door (poor T & C's?) or just genuinely trying to be 'European'.
Knowing how difficult the English test is/was I'm thinkng they must be making allowances for non-English 1st language candidates. No offence to Europeans but that comprehension was/is really a tester.
Any thoughts?
