Currently BA are hosting a pilot recruitment campaign which has included roadshows in London, Manchester and now strangely Abu Dhabi?

BA pilots have always given me that added sense of safety when flying from the moment you are welcomed on board, inflight messages, deplaning regardless of age or experience (young or old) and length of flights. Whilst pilots are certainly highly skilled individuals, with training not cheap and scholarships unheard of these days for such a field but to fly out to the Emirates to on such a campaign begs the questions, does nobody want to fly BA aircraft as there are better airlines to work for even now for pilots? .Are those pilots in the ME just a better calibre? Cost? (always
) or just a genuine skill shortage?
