A few points:
LGW SH was in difficulty a few years ago but is now expanding, so ignore comments about being brave and going to LGW.
It is not all about braid but given that the pension scheme is a DC system, the earlier you get to the LHS the more you will retire with. LGW commands are significantly more junior that LHR. You can be retired for a long time, why live on less in retirement?
Being junior using Carmen at LGW gives you more control over your life than being junior on a BL, and therefore just being rostered at LHR.
If the offer is an earlier course at LGW that at LHR, remember that at BA seniority is king and the best advice is to take the early number rather than wait for the LHR or LH course. recruitment requirements change, waiting may well leave you in the pool without a job offer at all.
Good luck to all trying to get in.
