Thanks all, good to get your take on the industry. I didn't mean to be presumptious about getting a job. I won't leave BA if I don't get one, and I understand that may be exactly what happens.
My reasoning is that the cost of living in UK is astronomical and the weather is mostly bad. Just thought I'd give it a try; maybe improve my wife's health. Might jack in flying altogether to make this move.
I thought one benefit of flying might be a transferable skill, but I geuss not! Seniority rules in the UK as well, so I am well aware I would go in at the bottom. I'm only five years in at BA as an FO, so now is the only time I could contemplate this.
So I may be an idiot, and this may be an uphill struggle...but I would still like to know "what if...?" So can anyone tell me if CO use bidline and what CAP do they have to reach (or typical days work per month, doesn't matter)
