The last few weeks appear to have been a mixed bag. I know of 777/787/747 rated guys doing their sim checks between May and September 2016, now starting in May. Other non rated who did sim checks in April also starting in May.

The guys I know were May and June for sim checks. Whilst not type rated, they’re both current on a Boeing aircraft, which from the update email seems to be the case for LH positions at the moment.
Not sure where they are with “pure” non rated such as Dash /EJet etc.

I know this has been done before, but with the continuing negative changes I am genuinely wondering if there is any point in continuing through the current selection process with BA, or whether to just stick with ezy where I am pretty happy. The trajectory BA seems to be on is a little worrying especially when moving there is playing the long game. Thoughts?
