Just heard 737 applicant,sim on Monday,777 offered Tuesday. Good luck.
Does this not lead to the slightly odd situation of current LH pilots being offered SH & all the super current young SH pilots being offered LH slots?
After 18yrs of one or two landings a month on long haul it’s safe to say my pure handling skills were better when I was 19 flying Highlands & Islands in an ATP - so I’d now be sent SH A320 to improve I guess!!
