Exactly how many guys whingeing about the ex- OA guys have put their hands up for one of these commands? The package is derisory, but if you want to fly a shiny brand new -400F in the LH seat right away the position is indeed available should you so desire, just pop in and see KJP and you'll be on the next course I assure you.
Those whingeing should see the irony in that the CX Terms and Conditions became worthless the moment the first 'B' scaler signed on the dotted line to undermine CX 'A' scale T&C, this has continued with ASL, 'C' scales 'D' scales and now 'O' scales.
The company reserves the right to recruit crew on new terms and conditions as it sees fit, and as long as there are guys who will turn up for the (increasingly awful) T&C it's just tough titty on those before them. As I say, if you want your command out of seniority, just accept the latest T&C downgrade, KJPs door is always open.......
