What's the current benefit to the company of having all 777 drivers based in LHR?
For me personally, and I know I'm not alone, it's the difference between applying and not. One less CV to throw in the bin I suppose.
Why knowing the benefit to the company makes the difference to you applying or not... strange.
I think the answer to your question however is probably flexibility, with more trips rumoured to be going down there who knows.
Looking at the P2 777 list very little LGW work seems to go down to the juniors and if it did ever go to a Beach Fleet on current terms then I think the bids would go senior so I would save that CV for when Level takes it over.
