Glad you made this thread African Dude - if I slip through the BA selection net next month I'll have a decision to make and it's not very clear cut at the moment.

I'd be most interested to hear from any ex-ezJetters who've gone BA. Any regrets? Or none at all? Financially, for me, its much of a muchness (over a long-term view), though perhaps a tad better at BA - so I suppose a lot of it comes down to whether you enjoy the tours/nightstops and the people you work with (a big plus at EZ I think).

What's the general vibe at work like? I have a concern that, as a generalisation, BA crews will be bit old, stuffy and set in their ways having potentially been in the same company for 30 years (I suppose I'm talking about Captains here!). Not so at EZ, I find. But maybe I'm way off the mark.

One appeal of BA is actually getting to see a bit of the cities I'll fly to. Do you enjoy the tours, are crews usually sociable? Or is the reality more likely to be being stuck with a grumpy old Captain and the CC escaping asap, and wishing you were at home. Does the novelty wear off quickly?

Another major appeal of course is the possibility of changing fleets and route structures throughout the career.

So, any insightful comments from those who've gone to BA from EZ would be most welcome.
