Thanks for the good gen Matey. I wasn't expecting good news on any of the queries I raised, except maybe TTC and journeys to Heathrow. I hoped that as an experienced (3000hrs fast jet) DEP I would be considered for captaincy earlier. Guess I was wrong!
BA's info sheet gives example rosters showing a life consisting of 5 or 6 'mini tours' every month. Is this not typical? Your 20+ journeys example has me worried.
