It was all well and good until I read that you will be offered an unconditional offer as first officer IF vacancies are available. If? I mean some of us will be taking out 100K loans for this....
I understand that BA is a company and is of course subject to the ups and downs of the economy, but what if no vacancies turn up for a good year or so after completing the course?
During the Gulf War when BA was losing serious money, the BA cadets were given jobs as cabin crew and became known as "Junior Jets".

After a year or two of serving tea and coffee they went on to fly.
