joining the club of the toffee nosed elitest mob (well founded already at BA, EZ, Monarch etc)
Yawn,
Oddly enough it is only the SSP cadets who have to have been to 'integrated' to join BA. There are many who joined from a integrated (HR wished it to be so) whilst their mates from various other sources (modular, self improvers, military etc.) went to other outfits. Then their mates joined BA as DEP's from those outfits when the minimum critera were met and leap frogged the SSP guys on the payscales. There are many, many FO's in BA from a whole variety of backgrounds recruited over the past 5 years or so.
Careful what you preach as its mostly twaddle.
