In any case, I'll probably be moving on to TRE by the time the 777-9 is in service
there is no way you got a 777 command in under 8 years.
Also, in BA you don’t “choose” to go TRI>TRE. You apply for a training appointment and you have to get both tickets.
I joined in 2000 and took me 19 years to get a LH command.
