Firstly, breathe a sigh of releif because BA contract in cleaners, so there is no chance they will take you on in that department. However on 2 notable occasions in the past cadets have been given jobs which are not flying jobs. The one everyone knows of is the Gulf War, the other is the 70's oil crisis. At the moment they can't get enough pilots so you should be OK on that score.
I do know of pilots who didn't make it to the end. Usually in mysterious circumstances. Nuff said on that one.
