Bahee 96
For the sake of any remaining ambiguity, and I don't enjoy being a messenger of bad news, but....
I know for a fact that those people who started in September and early October and who were originally offered the 747 and 777 have all now been reasigned to A320 courses. You will not be offered the 747. In fact you are unlikely to be offered anything until early Spring '09 at the soonest.
Sorry about that, but it's better that you are aware of how things stand. For what it's worth I concur with those that have said take whatever is offered first and bid for a change once in the Co.
