First month of opperation there will be trials of lower crew levels.
3 class 777 - 1 Cabin manager/1 Purser/8 main crew
4 class 777 - 1 Cabin manager/1 Purser/9 main crew
If trials are successful then these will be made permanent.
If not, will go back to the current crewing levels.
The service will be the same as at LHR
737 3 crew trials continue. No changes have been made as yet as they have not been successful. There are no plans to remove Club Europe from LGW as of yet as there is still a demand for it from our passengers.
It's not clear what the mix of long and short haul will be. The figure 60% longhaul/40% short has been banded about before but of course this all depends on things like bidding which of course works on seniority.
If you are starting in May/June/July, you will be a way down the list when it coes to your conversion course as this will also been done on seniority.
If you start in Aug/Sep/Oct onwards you will be 777 trained from the start. this is for issues of recency (you must fly on A/C you are trained on once every 3 months).
However the earlier you start, the more senior you will be.
Don't forget you seniority within your training course is down to your performance on the course. So being the top of the course as opposed to the bottom could be 20 spaces difference. Doesn't sound a lot I know but when it comes to transfer, getting part-time, getting that nice trip, or getting that conversion course, one or two spaces can be ALL the difference!
