It's really very sad to see how what was once the gold standard of pilot employment has totally gone to the dogs, and how this is symptomatic of the conditions of the profession as a whole.
The few remaining companies of merit, (in my book, Monarch, Emirates, and some others outside Europe) put BA totally in the shade, as does my company, but I like to keep that to myself as too many applications would make the management think we're on to too much of a good thing!
