Just been home for a month, so this is the first I've heard of what BA is trying to do!!!!
Thankfully for me, I am the so called 'new-blood' on WW being transferred just over 3 months ago, but my sympathy to those who are still waiting. I know I'd be really dissapointed if I was in your position too, and think it's a bit unfair of the company to recruit straight into WW. I definately agree that whatever they think they'll gain by doing this, they will loose in morale over at EF!
And by the way any EF people who are concerned about transferring to WW because of its bad unsociable reputation, well, don't let that put you off cause it's a load of rubbish. Most trips are more sociable than EF plus you get lots more time wherever you are too. Best thing I've ever done was transfer fleets!
