Yeah Fly747 and you've previously said you'd like to take the job so let me explain a few home truths to you. We have almost a thousand 777 pilots. If you dragged every European expat out of the middle east, India and China you still wouldn't get enough to get the 777 fleet up and running before BA went bust. Even if you did you'd still have to find and train another thousand 744 pilots. Do you have any idea of how much traffic on these 'prime long haul routes' feeds in from Europe? Did you not spot the shortage of experienced pilots worldwide? Do you not think that people would be loathe to give up reasonable jobs elsewhere for a poorly paid position in BA2. Do you actually believe it would be legal for Willy Walsh to just close down the company and restart it phoenix like from the ashes of the old one? Let me write you a reality check!

PS I love the title of your post "Pls stryke Nige cos I am weytin 4 yr job n want fly the big one jumbo." I doubt you'd even pass the interview for BA2.
