It looks like recruitment will predominately be for the A380 until crew start getting trained for the 77X but it would not surprise me if they pause 777 recruitment for a brief period. We were notified a few days ago that there will be no command courses on the 777 from March till July but they could extend this time period. Apologies if it has been explained beforehand but until the 77X arrives, the current 777 fleet will shrink slightly, as some older aircraft are removed from the fleet. This slight shrinkage in fleet size along with a lower level of attrition, means we have in every practical sense, a crew surplus on the 777. Further delays to the 77X entry into service, will only result in this surplus getting larger, providing there is not a marked increase in attrition and/or those aircraft that are due to leave the fleet soon, are retained for longer.
