You would think. As wiggy alluded to, whether LC was sat at Waterside or flying the line, he still took up a sim slot every 6 months regardless of how many hours flying he carried out. The new CEO views this as an inefficient use of resources.

Personally, I agree with wiggy. You want the head of pilot recruitment to be a pilot. How much difference to the bottom line is it really going to make vs the quality of candidates recruited and how BA are perceived in the industry?
