Hmmmm... the thing that bothers me the most is that you will have to wait for a course to become available, this is inherently flawed as if you sit in about the mid bunch of guys on the list just getting started will take around 8 months, plus the 6 month....then wait again for an upgrade course.... it keeps stretching on and on with no real direction as to what the hell the company is going to do in the meantime.

Then there is the accelerated guys..... they have now effectively put every pilot behind the 3 year guys into commands before them that meet the accelerated criteria... what they did tell us at the interview was that we were "eligible" at three years.... but wait now you have to do another year on the 777 to be "eligible" what a croc!

If a pilot has completed his 3 years and has passed his PPC's without drama why pray tell me isn't he given the opportunity to not "volunteer" as an FO on the boing, but be put on an upgrade course forthwith?????
