Has this post been started by someone from BA’s recruitment team? I know that they’re struggling to fill roles, but are they now posting about exciting opportunities to join BA on Flyertalk?

With no disrespect intended to the people still there, I’m sure that there’s some great talent within it, but certainly before I left BA, it had some of the least dynamic people working at BA in it, who already worked for a company that could turn things around about as quickly as an oil tanker. No sour grapes, just my experience. There are many wonderful colleagues across BA who are safety focused, customer centric and a real joy to have as a colleague, but not many of them are in Waterside.

If it takes nearly a decade to roll out a new style of teapot, and then you give out an award to the person that spent the last decade working on that as their main project, it should hopefully give an idea about how exciting and dynamic it is as a department.
