I don't know who told you that, but Gatwick has been very junior all year. I know of several who joined at the same time as I did in 2015 who are waiting for command courses at the moment. Unofficially I've heard that Gatwick commands could go sub-4000 on the seniority list next year. At the moment we have a little over 4200 pilots. I know of pilots around 3600-3700 who have already done the internal 'Essentials for Command' course and are just waiting for a course date. Now, if you're waiting for a LH command, that's a totally different story. 20 years plus isn't unrealistic!
