I certainly don't imagine there will be many existing crew applying for positions on New Fleet, particularly considering the company's requirement essentially exclude almost all main crew from applying for the CSM role.
BA wants the CSMs to have experience in a people management or leadership role, either in the air or on the ground. That seems to me to be a perfectly fair requirement. As you say, most main crew will not be suitable for this role but those who wish to develop in this area will be able to apply for the Future Talent – Crew role or seek a Purser position in an existing fleet.
Furthermore, the CSM jobs are now being advertised externally. I think there will be many applicants.
