Noticed that they are asking for applications again on the web site. I would have thought all those interested would have applied by now.
Now if they were to improve the conditions i.e a pension that is worth while I am sure many more would be interested

Pilots have become very goavoiding the dreaded call and so BA has been left cancelling a number of flights.[/quoteod at ]
What the hell is so difficult as to avoid a companys phonecall, if you are not on reserve or standby?Do you have to have at all a portable or any other kind of telephone?
I thought only the SWISS are so stupid and going to work on an offday for free!!!

Thin Albert ...How do you avoid the manager at the bottom of the aircraft steps drafting you to go to work on your next days off? Or managers using their own mobile phones to draft people so that pilots that call screen wont recognise it as a BA number. It is all getting a bit silly there now. I know a lot of pilots that give BA a PAYG mobile number as a home contact. Hardly satisfactory though , is it?

Well that surely would depend on wether they are answering said PAYG mobile or just ignoring it like some of the foreign based pilots do!!

captwannabe,
You may want to check the date of madmax's post.
BA proposed to use seconded Aer Lingus pilots for a while until BALPA put them straight. Was over a year ago though....
