Yellow Pen you my find that although there is a vast pool of people for BA to recruit from I have just had a really interesting conversation with a friend in who works in recruitment.
1000's of people have applied for the new roles agreed. Hardly and I mean hardly are being taken on though.
Mixed fleet growth has been cut right back from the anticipated projection and they are now going to be asking for 3 years previous airline experience.
I honestly believe the legacy fleet as it is now refered to will be around for quite a while yet.
