BA Age profile and seniority
Quote from the BA website:
Diversity - British Airways age profile January 2008
The bar graph shows the percentage of total British Airways employees by age groupings as of January 2008.
The percentage value for each age grouping is as follows:
15-19 years: 0.12%
20-24 years: 2.65%
25-29 years: 5.78%
30-34 years: 10.3%
35-39 years: 17.2%
40-44 years: 20.32%
45-49 years: 18.08%
50-54 years: 13.48%
55-59 years: 8.26%
60-64 years: 3.48%
65+ years: 0.33%
Remember this is for the TOTAL BA employees not just pilots. However, is this a true reflection of BA pilot age profiles??
Regarding Seniority and time to command would a 35 year old joining at the moment get a long haul command in 18-20 years based on the the number of younger pilots above him/her in the seniority?
Finally, do you guys think BA does spread the ages out in terms of recruiting. For example if they had too many pilots between 25-30 and not so many between 30-35 then they would tend to favour those pilots at the DEP interview.
Thanks.
