Short reply -as I'm operating out of base at LTN for 3 days!
Many commands in FCA over last few years have had to be accepted out of base with movement back to original base when chance permits. That's a quick broadbrush of things. I think general concensus would be you have to take a command wherever offered & then weed your way back to where you really want to be.
We have been told it will take 50 pilots to man the first 2 787 airframes when they enter service in spring '09. What combined fleet size will be who knows?
Airbus leases run to 2010/11 I think -what do you get rid of 1st these or old 737s?
