Agree, great fleet to be on at the moment.

With regards to ETOPS training, there used to be a table that would tell you when to expect to gat your ETOPS training flight, it depended on your experience eg. if you were low hours you wouldn't get it till your first opc/lpc. That might have changed now though with all the extra L/haul work coming our way.

Your rosters will be a good mix of work, but if you've been following any of the other BA roster threads you will probably have guessed that you will be on blind lines for quite some time and as a result have only a very limited say in what you want to do and when you want to do it! it folllows therefore that you willl end up working most weekends.
However, even down at the bottom of the list the guys on blind lines often pick up the nice trips and if your're not to bothered about when you work you willl have a great time.
Good luck with the course.

pin head, the remaining 75/76 airframes that we have are not actually that old, the oldest 75 is only around 10yrs and the 76 just a few years older than that. Given that we have 747 that are much older and 777's that are getting on for 10yrs old aswell, I don't think there is any mad rush to replace any of them.
