You are dreaming of you think BA will take more than a token few CX guys. Big airlines don't poach from each other excessively. The Swire boys and the BA boys all went to the same schools and belong to the same clubs.....they look out for each other's business. Call it a gentleman's agreement.
Forgive me - I know gentleman isn't really the word to use when we talk about our bosses..but that's another story.
