And who do you think is going to replace those BA SFO's that move from BA to Lauren. They're not cloned you know, they're DEP's from other airlines, cadets from the ab initio courses or ex forces.
If the Lauren guys are on the BA list it means BA needs more pilots, which means more recruiting, which means movement in other airlines.
My point is whether the Lauren guys are BA or not, the net no. of flying jobs in the UK is the same.
