All flights originate out of Stansted and the main destination is Hong Kong, two a week out of STN and the others out of either Hahn or Frankfurt. Return is via either DEL, BOM or MAA. Two services a week to JNB, returning either direct or via Lusaka to VIT in Spain and on to STN. Two USA services to ATL and IAH. And that's it. And two services to Shanghai. No new routes planned at the moment as far as I know.

Working conditions are fine although there is a surprising amount of unserviceability and general cockups resulting in quite frequent roster ammendments which sometimes could be handled better.

Very little actual flying, quite a bit of positioning (usually in Club) but a very nice working enviroment.

Yes, BA FOs are still arriving which is the biggest downside to the whole operation. Its a pity that the management did'nt stand up to BALPA and BA World Cargo two years ago and that particular sitiuation would have gone away. As it is, anyone joining now will have quite some years to command unless they want to fly a Classic in which case it could be a very different situation. The suggestion of a Classic operation by October is a little premature I think.
