BA Looks to Hire Cabin Crew, Pilots

British Airways is reportedly looking to recruit more than 350 pilots and 1,600 crew members in 2016, a record amount of hires in a year for the carrier.

The airline’s Director of Flight Operations Captain Steve Riley says it’s an ideal time to be a pilot at the company: “We have excellent opportunities for new pilots with the British Airways Future Pilot Programme entering its fifth successful year, as well as the very best experienced flight crew from other airlines and the military,” Riley said.

All crew are slated to be trained at the airline’s learning academy at Heathrow Airport (LHR).
