The reality is that it will suit some and it won't suit others.
I have two close friends that were colleagues with me at FR who were both in the LHS in UK bases on a permanent contract.
They left just last year to join BA on the 74.
Both of them are seriously considering their options at the moment.
It's a lifestyle choice and the simple fact is that they both miss the home time they once had on a 5-4 and both have taken considerable pay cuts in the short term.
Having said that BA will not be short of applicants despite what's said on here. Three of the five FOs I flew with this week are swimming in the hold pool and won't think twice about leaving if the call does come within their 18 month stint .However....
They are not sitting in their mid thirties like me or my two ex colleagues previously mentioned.
Don't get me wrong. Yes it's the best gig in the UK overall. But it simply won't work for everyone.
