Having tried to recruit a load of type rated guys and girls who were desperate to escape from Ryanair and Easyjet, BA soon realised that the product was sadly lacking
Most of the Easyjet crew who failed the BA assesment would have come through the CTC ab-initio selection and subsequent flight training programme which is exactly what BA have chosen to do with these future cadets.

The CTC scheme is a countless-times-proven product? Therefore BA will have hidden agendas to suit themselves.

For example during the late 80's, it was BA's (hidden) policy to fail married men with families at interview even though they were suitable pilots.

Secondly, how many pilots over the years have passed BA selection but been put on hold, then been forced to reapply only to then fail..!

...but also ensuring that it is allowing the best pilots, not just those with the most money...
There are a number of ways you can raise the funds to deposit this security bond, for example from your own finances, borrowing from family, or securing a loan
You still have to initially steal, beg or borrow £84,000? What has changed?

Come on, this is ONLY aimed at the fattest wallets.

Saatchi and Saatchi used to do the advertising - Looks like Max Clifford now does the PR..!!
