Three thirty. We have the first of the Future Pilot programme cadets joining us on the 73 or 320 in the next few months. I have heard rumours of potentially up to 5000 flight crew on BA's books in the next 5 years or so with the increased long haul flying programmer now BA has the extra slots after the BMI takeover? If that is the case, that is an extra 1500 jobs not even taking in to account the inevitable retirements but that is rumour control & I guess will depend on an ever improving world economy. Unfortunately with the lack of airport expansion in the UK & second highest airport taxes in the world (after Chad I believe) we can take nothing for granted.
