Make the most of Monarch as I'm told its extremely unlikely for BA to do any DEP recruitment throughout 2013. I would imagine the folk swimming in the pool, and that have a close resemblance to a dried up prune, will be able to get out of the pool and dry off shortly! This will be a frustrating time for all of those who have been patiently swimming/bobbing along. Historically, those that have dropped out of the pool have had to go through the whole process from scratch again (keeps HR in a job!).
To rub salt in all of the experienced pilots wounds BA will also be relaunching their FPP programme over the coming weeks.
