BMED have been operating for 10 or more years I believe and open new routes every year. I thought BA LGW crews were content and anyway whatever you decide you can always get back to BA eventually. BMED is probably more financially secure than BA especially the LGW unit, consider tha BMED destinations, some of them are the back of beyond. If the money is better then that maybe for you at this time is the prime consideration. Good luck.
