Apparently Jade has some 24 pilots training, mainly with British Airways but some 8 (not sure if 8 pilots or 8 crews, suspect 8 pilots) are training with Boeing (Alteon) as they got the courses at Boeing thrown in with the aircraft purchase......................Of course none of these folks have any -400 experience and in most cases no wide body or Ultra long haul experience, and having attended the screening in Shenzen everyone I spoke to who was type rated wouldn't consider working for the pittance that Jade wants to offer.............................The first aircraft is apparently arriving 25th July and they expect to Operate to Amsterdam twice a week and some obscure place in Italy plus flights to Incheon. They will have seconded British Airways pilots to do Line training for them, so BA must be laughing all the way to the Bank..............................
Jade needs to take a look at the market..................AND GET REAL
