The BA system...
Hi I am hearing recently talks of fleet changes and forced bids etc. can anyone explain how the seniority system works through the career of a BA pilot?
How long are you type frozen for when you join?
If everything is done on seniority can you bid for long haul then stay as an FO until long haul command comes around?
How does the bidding system work?
I am interested because I almost applied a few years ago but decided to stay for command in my current company, now I have worked my bond out and although my job is great I dont want to spend my whole career on a 20 tonne turboprop.
At some point in the future BA will recruit again (I know some people seem to think the end of the world is coming on here but let's be positive)
Obviously previous experience does not help to jump places in seniority but would say 4000hrs total multi crew with 2000 command turboprop effect anything? Type frozen for less time or short haul command sooner etc?
Thanks for the info.
