Chaps dont worry about this sponsorship nonsense, if you want to make it then you will, have faith in yourselves. There have been some very good coments over the last couple of pages, and a whole lot of love!
Just remember with companies like BA you are a commodity to them. As you get older your priorities will change and the idea of working for a big company will be horrendous. Money isnt all. How about the idea of wife, kids and a dog. There is something to be said about going back to your own bed at night and your Swedish au-pair.
I cant believe that I said something so mature, BA should be seen as a starter block who wants to spend their time dialing in digits on an autopilot, titing about with variable pitch props and flying rubber dog **** out of Hong Kong is what it is about. Use them because they are sure as hell going to use you. Who wants to be managed by a bunch of fags and birds, I would rather be lead than managed (For those in the know). Smaller companies can be the way forward.
Good luck lad
