Fade to grey
People aren't being treated badly. Personal experience testifies that the recruiters have been both forthcoming and approachable throughout the duration of the hold pool. The pool 'officially' hasn't been closed (a la 2008) even though it has been explained in no uncertain terms that DEP recruitment isn't anticipated in 2013. There has been much 'behind the scenes' suggestion that debate still exists over what can be done for those 80 odd people that have been through selection. Only time will tell on that one, however it's probably correct in not hoping for too much. Anything else is a bonus, right?
BA are no different than anyone else. They are just a business whose primary function is to transport people from A to B in a tin can with wings. They are part of the same ****ty industry that makes people redundant, messes with peoples lives, raises their hopes and dashes them. They make no promise to offer enployment after passing selection and make this extremely clear with a big red disclaimer at the bottom of the application for their DEP program. In my experience they treat people differently than a lot of the airlines that I've experienced. Maybe that's why people go through selection, in the hope that they might get somewhere where they are treated that little bit better.
