The most junior successful applicant for LHS Airbus LHR this year has a grand total of 6 months in the company as a copilot.

There is a mass exodus from unfrozen P1's off the A320 fleet to Long Haul and BA can't find enough experienced* co-pilots to replace them.

IMHO, the 2 main reasons for Command becoming so junior this year is the combination of
  • Our rosters will soon be constructed to the new EASA FTL's and
  • Our new CEO has come from Veuling and his opinions of Short Haul pilots is reflected in his T's and C's of his previous company
Good luck all.
