Anything the little Irishman has to say is usually separated from the truth by a healthy distance. BA will have exactly the same problems over the next decade finding pilots as any other airline. However, one difference with CX's developing problem: at least BA is a recognised major airline where you have multiple fleet types to enjoy, live in your home country (or even Europe and commute) and has a semblance of law that surrounds your contract (and hinders the ability for management to abuse it ). BA will ALWAYS be a better place to spend your career than CX. At least you will be able to afford a proper home, send your kids to a decent school, have a nice car or two, and breath relatively clean air, not to mention your kids will have a normal life. CX offers none of that. CX pilots will be the reason that WW has a less difficult time getting pilots, because many of CX's pilots will be heading to BA.
