If you guys are so short of crews, any rumours of recruitment soon?
Sounds like the perfect job to me, City is a great little airport, london is fun. Touring rosters, charters, good staff travel and the Embraer to fly! Perhaps not perfect for families or older people but I cant see why a young single captain would ever leave.
Grass is always greener I suppose but I know lots of people who would kill for a CF job.

A. It's indeed not a reliable source.
B. It has been deleted from the page.
C. The Unions would not have allowed it, not in a million years. (either LHR or even LGW)
D. No aircraft and crew to do it anyway.
If it had been from LGW I would have given them a 0.01% credibility rating. But even that would have had major implications. Don't even mention LHR. You hardly get any acknowledgement going through LHR as pos crew anyway. As we're not 'real' BA. Yet we do the more challenging flying...

DB - do the 'real' BA crew flying the A318 out of your back yard play nicely? 
I was talking to a 'real' BA Captain (short haul) from LHR a month or so ago about BACF and he was very complimentary and a little bit jealous of your new toys! Must just be some stuck up lot.

News to me. I figure that it will be due to low crew levels. Lot's of (line) training going on right now, including new skippers. So they may need those cause the PMI/IBZ are still operating as well.
