You Belong Up Here. British Airways Head of Pilot Recruitment - Lucy Silvester

Lucy Silvester is a former cabin crew member who started her
career in Monarch Airlines, before transitioning to recruitment,
training and development with British Midland International and
Heathrow Airport. For the last 10 years, she has been
instrumental in the acquisition of talent in a range of
specialist areas across the business for the globally recognised
British Airways. In 2023 her natural flair for recruitment
combined with her infectious character and ability to build
effective teams, she successfully applied for the role of Pilot
Recruitment Manager with British Airways. In one of the biggest
recruitment drives in British Airways history, she has also
played a fundamental role in the successful launch of the
Speedbird Pilot Academy - the first time in many years since
British Airways launched a fully funded cadetship scheme, giving
the realistic option for anyone aged 18-55 to become a
pilot.
