Would love to know why you think BA sounds terrible??
I think they loose something stupid like 3% of their pilots to resignation and the other 97% to retirement.
Compare that to any of your previously mentioned airlines especially the Gulf ones.
Doesn't sound like the guys flying there find it that terrible
Now BA have opened up again think you might find quite a few Brits fed up of the sand pit heading back to BA in a few months!!
