WB FO’s who think they are waiting for a 321 CMD could be in for a rude shock if they haven’t read the SHEA. I’m unsure when the variation went through so perhaps it was all a bit of an unknown when this post was made.
every 321 CMD and FO slot (apart from the management stooges and initial trainers) will be taken by a current 737 pilot.
for everyone’s sake I hope the rumours around the centre tank are false, but it would be funny as to see Alan’s baby get flushed down the drain. I’m sure we’ll still get 350’s anyway, and I’m sure QF has negotiated significant penalties if Airbus can’t get the thing flying
