Seniority on the 777
Just going back to the 777 lifestyle thread...
What you have heard about seniority vs quality of life at BA is all true. On the 777 being junior isn't the end of the world but the more people below you, the more choices you'll have.
Here's the good news: There are between 300 and 330 F/O's on the fleet depending on training and recruitment. If you start tomorrow, of course you'll be at the bottom, but not for long. As mentioned, there are about 90 DEP's starting on the 777 in the next 12 months. That means that you'll be 30% of the way up the list before you even get to go to the same place twice.
So after your first year, you'll be in quite an enviable position. Some guys take 8 years to get to the same level on the '400. The other nice thing is that everyone is frozen on type for the first 5 years after training. That means that you are guaranteed to maintain that buffer below you until you have a bit of seniority within the company as a whole.
Come on in, the water's lovely.
