MissApproach,
having done 11+ years in the industry you should try and reward yourself by trying to get into BA.
we are currently recruiting for shorthaul at LHR (a very, very good position).
why risk so much by going into an airline that isn't completely established yet? who knows where it will be in 6/12/18 months time? it never ceases to amaze me why so many crew (and i know alot personally) who just go from one disaster start-up airline to another and never seem to tire of being majorly let down.
do yourself a favour and go for the red, white and blue. i'm sure you'll get it.
good luck.
