They may be considering it, but they have made no announcements so far. They have a
slightly increased retirement rate forecast for 2005-2008 (I think), but it's not large enough to base any decisions on that may affect the rest of your life!
My own feeling is that most airlines will be holding off on any expansion or recruiting plans until the fall-out from the upcoming Gulf conflict has settled, and the future has become a little clearer. As last week's stockmarket falls show, even the hard-headed business world is prey to panic, fads and shot-termism. By that I mean that, right now, you won't get any sense out of anyone close to the coalface who you could normally ask about future plans!
If you can hold off for another year or more (which is my own guess as to when they might start again - and may well be wrong!), and BA is that important to you (why?) then do so. Otherwise, I suggest you make other arrangements.
