Just to counter the doom and gloom, BA and Virgin both recruited non-TR'd guys in last year's recruitment. BA onto the 74, 76 and Airbus and Virgin onto the 74 and Airbus. I know TR based recruitment eases the burden on the trg depts and the bottom line but BA have a strong track record of recruiting non-TR guys and with all the new metal they'll be receiving in the next few years I don't think they'll change. Some big numbers being bandied around by management re increase in the size of the pilot workforce will also help. Good luck.
