Actually, not quite true - BA stopped advertising for crew on September 30th, Little Willy started on October 3rd. Crew advertising has always been on a monthly basis - i.e. - each vacancy always had an expiry date of the last day of the month.
Still, after two years hiring, it must surely be about time to stop anyway, don't you think? Also, over 150 ground staff have just started or are about to start training at Cranebank. These staff were hired as crew before the summer period, but weren't allowed to transfer to crew until after the summer peak. Hence there are no more new LHR EF training classes scheduled for the remainder of 2005.
