The chance of DEP recruitment in 2013 is extremely unlikely.
I would suggest a surplus of Airbus pilots with the prerequisite hours for ETOPs could plug any gap if need be. This may also free limited space on the bus for FPP cadets. Either that or the arrival of the 787 mid year will start to replace the 767 frames.
I would add that my that it is my belief that the annual fleet bid, crew requirement and schedule analysis at BA is something that is reasonably accurate and holds a lot of stock. I believe the recruitment team would have been able to say with considerable conviction where everyone stands come 2013. It would be nice for them to be proven wrong though!
