When I joined BA approaching 20 years ago NRA was 55. I took the gamble that it would change and was correct. I challenge anyone who has left BA at 55 to EZY et al to say they would have made that move to another operator had NRA in BA been 60/65. Much bitterness is unfortunately being displayed on this thread which is sad given the Professsional nature of the site.I would suggest also that all the BA DEPs/FPPs have aspirations to fly Long Haul when the chance occurs....they may hate it ...but the attraction of BA remains the variety of fleets/lifestyles despite the recently increased 5 year freeze period and the ability to return to SH.
