The big push right now is for the Airbus, adding 8-9 340-300 above planned in the new year,this being the reason for direct entry capt.
The boeing seems to be holding it's head above water for now, no talk of direct entry.2005 is when the 777-300er's start to arrive at @ 2 month' I think the last number was 26 total.Rumour Has it they have not had very good response to the latest add for Airbus Capt's, being type rated is a help but not red'q. Still 10000 hrs and 3000 command on jet.
The medical done in house very standard.
The interveiw for direct entry same as FO's for the first 3 days than if found suitable 2 more days of Capt Loft sims and more Crm stuff.
Starting wage is level 1 Capt DOH for bidding
