Great post. It's fascinating to hear the inside story of your training and I'm really pleased to see so many positive comments.
I have been flying for BA for 18 years and for the last 3 in command of 777's at both Heathrow and Gatwick. I can tell you that you will love working at LGW, the crews are very friendly and some of the destinations are warm and sunny.
Please feel free to visit the flight deck, notwithstanding the locked door. Just ask your purser, at a quiet moment, if you could come upfront to check the operation of the cockpit door and video camera system. It will not matter who is flying - we all like showing new crew members the "office".
Enjoy the rest of the course - see you in Antigua!
