The issue continues to be training capacity. And a delivery schedule for the 787 that is only going to cause problems crewing the fleet.
I'd say this is as good a time as there has ever been to join BA as a DEP onto almost every LH fleet if you have the hours. Frustrating for frozen SH P2s but when the time comes there will be the bonus of having *some* seniority and not starting at the very bottom of the list.
And retirements start again in 2016....
