Makes sense to me to look at the sort of scheme gbotley suggested if you want to recruit complete newbies, rather than go through the expense of screening and interviewing applicants with little or no proven flying/aviation background.
'If FPP has gone it is a shame though.......
Say it ain't so! Ah, dreams well and truly shattered.
I suspect with this tie-up with CTC it does look like that BA FPP is pretty much finished.
