Just been told that command time on the 777 fleet may come down to as little as 5 years with the expansion. (Subject to T5 being up and running by 2008). By then I should be earning more than an easyjet captain anyway.
Wot "expansion"? T5 is an irrelevance... BA is largely LHR, does not seem to have much intent to expand elsewhere at all, and LHR / BA is "slot constrained". T5 will not increase slots.. Any increase (i.e. mixed mode) will be small, and will benefit everyone else before BA (politics).

In that you have been
...told that command time on the 777 fleet may come down to as little as 5 years ...
what figures have you been "told" for BA 320 LHR? 757/767? Your post seems remarkably unknowlegable about BA, since if C77L comes to 5 years, we are probably looking at DECs for C32L
