never_home I could answer all those questions but I'd rather just say "you're a fool". Do NOT leave a senior position in BA for the A321 fleet here.
Ouch! That hurt, but I guess I did ask for it.
Seriously, though. Thanks for that, I will certainly bear it in mind. The grass isn't always greener but that also works both ways. We, in BA, have had a substantial number of DEP recruits return to their previous airlines in recent months. Many of the attractions of joining the airline are now vanishing and faced with the prospect of >20 years to command with very little pension provision and paid no better than UK market rate whilst working harder than colleagues in other airlines, many people are looking at their options.
BA are recruiting, funnily enough, if anyone wants to apply.
Cheers all.
