OK, lets really go off road;
I notice John Monks is no longer in charge of recruitment at BA according to PPJN (the source of all 100% factually correct info 
) and it is now Dave Burrows.
Maybe Mr Burrows trained modular so we could see a change in policy if/when BA reopen their doors?
Take a look
here
Wasn't it called a Self Sponsored Pilot (SSP) scheme and, if so, where is the "Self"?
Change in policy or cock up?
