I understand that direct entry captains will actually be employed as F/O's and given "temporary" commands with the introduction of the A330 for up to three years.
I guess they then drop back to F/O. Would make you want to carefully think about chucking in an existing command to take up this offer.
Also hear the interest of current J* pilots in moving to J* Int is lackluster in the extreme. The question of days off overseas and being able to get overtime hours on the international fleet is the worry.
