Think Wiggy is spot on here and he understands the grating issues the lower end of the seniority list has. There is no answer to it other than to dig in work hard and believe that growth will come from the bmi integration. Christmas off i would say is almost certain but I went through a stage of over 6 months where bar holiday worked every weekend. In terms of rostering it has to be the most unfair and discriminatory system out there and we are working very very hard to make CAP (20+ days some months). If you don't have aspirations to fly long haul I would think BA is no longer the automatic choice.
