I imagine all the flexi/ctc/parc cadets at ezy will have at least 500 hours on type and I've told all that I fly with to apply! They all seem keen to chuck an application in to BA as it offers far better prospects than the Orange Dream.
I see no problem in BA finding 200 type rated applicants. At the end of the day most people will be looking long term and a spell on the shorthaul fleet in BA isn't that bad surely?
