Dutchjock, I know very well that collegues got transfered to the bus since the base changed a/c. That is not my point. My point is that there will be lots of upgrades on the ībus and these pilots have already got offers for a Command but rejected it (I guess because of an upgrade not within UK). So now eJ will have to pay for a refresher course plus a CMD course for a limited time since they will surely go back to their home bases in the UK and the ībus asap. In the meantime I think there are about 20 f/o:s on the 737 that are ready/soon ready for a Command. To me that doesnt make any sense.
Also, I heard from a friend at a departement that offers had gone out to only ībus rated pilots for a command on the 737...... Maybe that was a misstake?
So I do understand that there are some guys on the 737 not too happy with it.
But hey, thatīs life
BTW I dont drink beer
