If BA ever decides to recruit 200 hour guys based on the size of their wallet and not their experience we will surely do so. We now have a few thousand employees who no longer fly eJ and FR, does it make a difference, probably not, but as soon as more employers/business wake up to the fact of how these P2F airlines operate and start talking with their feet it may some day make aviation a safer place then it is now.
Oh, but they already do. You see, if I don't have £84k to pay for their cadet programme, I'm not BA material. How's that not based on the size of ones wallet. Granted, they do pay you back (£12k/year, so not too fast either), but the £30k you'd have to spend on an FR TR probably pays for itself over the same time period anyway. And the £82k for BA is actually more than what the Ezy/CTC programme costs.

Oh, and you better add FlyBe/Jet2/Monarch/Thomson/Lufthansa/Emirates... Actually, I think it'd be easier if you just took the train instead.
