Top marks to BA
BA have done a superb job at introducing this scheme. The Flight Ops director, HR & finance team have done a fantastic job.
They have not sought to try and get every penny out of the cadet, and recognise them as employees that will ultimately contribute to the success of the business.
Great thought has gone into the scheme, and they haven't sat down and thought about where they can get £10-30k extra from cadets for a TR, offered a zero hour contract, flexi-crew, no pensions, rat like T&Cs and all of that absolute nonsense from other rackets, sorry, airlines.
This absolutely shames EZY's recent MPL scam, sorry, scheme and the monkeys that dreamt that up at EZY-OAA.
This is a scheme based on merit based selection, which is a massive shift and recognition of the importance of flight crew to a business.
