all "good" layovers will go on the 777 and all bad ones on the 330 because the 777 drivers say so.

Those roadshows made at Lisbon were useful!!!!

Companhias árabes contratam pilotos à TAP- Empresas - Jornal de negócios online (http://www.jornaldenegocios.pt/home.php?template=SHOWNEWS_V2&id=520727)

O “Correio da Manhã” adianta que 200 pilotos portugueses não terão resistido nos últimos meses às excelentes condições oferecidas quer pela Qatar Airways quer pela Emirates, e terão entregue os currículos nos ‘road show’ que as companhias estão a fazer em países europeus, nomeadamente em Espanha e Portugal.

On a quick translation the newspaper "Correio...." says 200 pilots did not resist to Qatar and Emirates and delivered their resumes in the roadshows.

30 delivered the resignation letter. How many more from those 200, beats me!:confused:

Jornal de Negócios Online

But you should know it better!:ugh:

[Oblaaspop]

Rbaiapinto, mate, I wasn't referring to your post. If you read carefully, I was referring to a post made by a chap called Zeflo, but clearly he has seen the error and now removed his own post, hence your confusion!

Hope this helps?
