We need 120 pilots for the 777, 60 pilots for the 747-400 and another 60 pilots for the Airbus.
It's NOT the job it used to be though. Only 4 weeks holiday if based at LGW, slightly more at LHR.
If your a Captain with another Airline be prepared to take a wage cut and forget about seeing the wife and kids.
You will fly 900 hours in the year and if you want a command, forget it. 20 years you will wait on the 744. Quicker on an old 737, but who wants to fly that load of junk?
My advice is simple. Get a job with GB in airways colours, proper aircraft, fantastic conditions and 2 years to command.
