I thought the BA selectors were either recruitment consultants or pilots not psychologists amateur or otherwise.
B and Bs point about downward pressures on Ts and Cs is correct. Why he has to bang the drum when we all know it is the point.
There are niches at RYR and EZY that may suit some but top paypoint LHS LH BA is a pretty nice place to be there are of course plenty of other nice places.
B and B has been criticised by many on here on various threads. It's probable that the selectors recognised the flaw that causes this.
No selection process is perfect but BAs is as fair and as objective as it can be IMVHO.
Even B and B must agree that as BA require candidates to display an ability to maintain a harmonious climate in the workplace, the evidence on PPRUNE alone would prove their decision to reject him was correct.
