12+ years to command?
That is just the way it is, I'm afraid. The situation is likely to be made worse by the BMI integration. Just another fact of life, but it doesn't mean the job is an unpleasant one!
The Future Pilot Programme is a very poor deal compared to the old Cadetship.
Also the FPP's will never earn the money the DEP's earn, whereas before the Cadets would meet the DEP payscale at paypoint A5.
Count Niemantznarr, your point is ....... what? There are still an overwhelming number of applicants for the program because the pay, conditions, opportunities and route structure are still notably better than other UK and European employers. Your pronouncements indicate shallow knowledge and point to an underlying issue - you don't like pilots, particularly those in BA? Previously you have spouted such as this:
BMI cabin crew are not going to join the Legacy crew, that is for sure. There has been very little information about what will happen to the BMI cabin crew, but I feel there is a surprise coming.
Two things may happen; either they will end up on Mixed Fleet, or they will be the nucleus for BA Express. Mixed Fleet is being pulled off of the PHX route now after losing ATL. The future for this fleet due to 900 hour rule, is shorthaul and short longhaul.
Talk about highlighting your shortcomings! Got all that wrong, didn't you? Perhaps your time would be better spent spinning your untruths amongst your militant cabin crew colleagues? They
might believe you.
