COMB you may well find that there ARE potentially in the hundreds about to leave, the start dates have only just started to be issued by BA. Make no mistake there's a storm coming, virtually every F/O you speak to on the line either has an application in or is at some stage of the BA process..
(They are offering me a job and I'm still wasting my time here, I don't know what says about how I spend my life!
)
PS Believe it or not there are also captains (plural) contacting me asking for feedback on the BA recruitment process...
