Just a point of note on FPP; I think the original press releases said that BA would look to recruit 800 pilots over the next 5 years, 400 would be FPP and the other 400 would be DEP or ex-Military.

In terms of FPP numbers, the first intake was 92, the second last year was 74 and I think this year is 60 (correct me if I'm slightly off!) so it seems that the FPP average of 80 a year is not being met as we stand.

By the sounds of it the DEP recruitment is also nothing like 80 a year (perhaps owing to the bmi takeover and influx of pilots from that, or additional ex-mil guys), so perhaps BA have just been biding their time a little while things pick up and in 2014-16 we could see some serious movement?
