I guess the next obvious question is were you terminated by BA, and if so, why, or did you elect to leave on your own? Perhaps it's all too personal?
For various reasons I chose to apply to take voluntary redundancy when BA were asking for applicants. I received the VR and left Aug 09. I was not terminated. I have managers there who are happy to give me references.

My apologies for suggesting that you might have sworn.. It would have been an entirely reasonable thing to do, in my view. No slur was intended. And apologies to your wife too.
Sometimes these forums can be like trying to text message people ... you can't read the tone in which they are sent! No apologies needed as no offence had been taken, one of the first things my wife asked was "what expletive did I use"! She is scouse so can swear like the best of them! In fact I was surprised I didn't swear and can remember telling the AAIB investigator that I was sorry if I had sworn on the CVR!
