The 2 bus guys directly behind me have JFO courses in Jan and I was told to expect mid April for 777. Wasn't given the Bus option(not that I wanted it). Also when DH was showing me what I concluded was the 777 training plan for 08 and the number of 777JFO courses over the first half of the year, I questioned him on the first column which read 777 Induction(NAM) and after asking what that was he sheepishly said DEFO 777 for North America, a quick glance showed several every month for as far as I could see down the page, at leat 10-12 for the first half of the year. I am on bypass pay and will be on it for almost 7 months by the time I get a course, which also will be almost a year after my upgrade interview. So delayed course will mean delayed Ql and delayed FO1 pay, and there is no bypass for that!!
