Interesting.
Further to my interview where I asked if I would be going onto 737 (type rated on this), I was told recruitment was for LHR and so would probably be on the 320 (only got 1000 hrs total), maybe the 757.
Then after sim offered 737 LGW immediately. I asked about 757 but was told internal recruitment for this.
Maybe one of two things here:
1. BA are saving money by not having to do a new type rating.
2. BA are getting you online quicker.
or both!
or neither!
Makes sense to me to put you or anyone else onto the fleet that you are already operating. Why retrain you at their cost.
Anyone else got similar stories?
