Smell the coffee,
That is quite shocking!
Are you still enjoying it?
I have read the recent improvement in the FTC passage to CSM and feel that in the future, again, some will end up being let down a bit.
It now sets out a clear path to CSM in a year and basically says that if you follow the process and are happy, you will automatically get CSM in one year. It goes on to invite more crew from ALL fleets, WW, E/F, SFG and M/F to apply.
Unless BA have been lying to everyone about how fast Mixed Fleet will grow, not every FTC crew member will be able to be promoted within a year. Maybe the first batch but ALL future FTC!! It does at the very end mention that CSM positions need to be available but by mentioning the one year target, I feel they will be letting down a lot of people that take up this chance or they are going to expand faster than they have previously said! but whatever happens, eventually some FTC will end up waiting a lot longer than a year!
There must be two or three FTC for every CSM that are currently flying, so to give just, all of the current FTC, CSM, the fleet would need to grow 3x or 4x the size it is now! and for more to be invited to get FTC with the promise of a year target to CSM, the fleet would then need to grow to over 12 x or more, what it currently is!! The maths just don't add up, if that target of a year is to be believed!
