British Airways DEP Selection - THE lowdown Part 1

[Artificial Horizon]

Unfortuantly we are now in suplus on numerous fleets to the point where our annual fleet bid has been postponed for 2 weeks to figure out pilot requirements for next year. Apparently sim checks are now being cancelled with rumours that anyone currently under training or about to start training on the 747, 757, 737 will be redirected onto the Airbus or 777. No new hires are going to Longhaul anymore with only 8 SSP's required between now and next April. All very doom and gloom, even talk of unpaid leave, furloughes, redundancy etc.....
