ryr 738,
your quite right, at a time of economic upheaval, shrinking markets and reducing fleets BA should be bending backwards to give jobs to guys we dont need and have to train.
the self importance of the modern 'pay to play' ssp yet again staggers me. how long before the 'work for free' threads start?
I feel for those caught in limbo but try looking at the present situation like an adult. The amount of money a person borrowed to pay for their atpl is not relevant to anybody but their bank i'm sorry to say.
whilst virgin and others where laying off after 9/11 BA kept every pilot in employment. thats why it's a pool worth waiting in if you can.
good luck to all affected.
