HiFlyer

If I was you I'd be a little bit more cautious with the interpretation of BA's statement on New Fleet.

"We do not envisage any new crew joining BA until the business begins to grow again. "

is what they actually wrote, which to be honest can mean almost anything. The schedules are pretty thin right now, and there will almost certainly be more flights in Summer 2010 - does this count as the business growing?

Also note the use of the phrase 'do not envisage'. Hardly a guarantee is it? BA have a pretty strong record of seeming to promise one thing, only to rely on a strict interpretation of the wording later to justify doing exactly the opposite.
