Thanks Wirbelsturm,
I always hear that from friends who are at BA, and having fallen foul of the 2008 recruitment freeze I will be mad keen to have another crack as soon as the recruitment criteria mean that I am eligible.
I look forward to some hopefully positive updates from you...

For future reference BA is a very friendly place for ex-mil and alot of the flight crew are ex-mil. For me it was like going back to a Squadron reunion!!
Certainly not how I found it! But could it be different now? I wonder?

There are of course some right knobs out there from both sides of the fence.....
I've found that it's best not to ram one's ex-mil background down one's colleagues throats. Always nice to share some common ground with your mucker in the front, but there are also many excellent guys/gals from a purely civvy background. The ones to watch out for are the well-balanced (ie one on each shoulder) individuals who 'chose' not to join the RAF!! Best to talk cars or beer with them.
As for AT paying £50k for a captain, that's frankly ludicrous. BA's basic starting salary is more than that for an FO and goes up about £2500 a year for 20 years (or something).
Oh, and £100k wasn't enough for me either.
