I think the plain truth is that a lot of those who've tried to get in to BA and for whatever reason haven't, be it not getting through selection, the disbanding of the hold pool or, even, dare I say it being offered a job then turning it down, are often trying to kid themselves that BA is not such a good gig anymore...well it may not be as good as it was but if you want to live and work in your home country its still the best one in town, in every way except time to command..and if thats all you want...go to Easy or Ryan
