archenergy , Don't worry about this UK captain, he will not be offered a 320 position, he will join DEC on the 330 like IM and BW.

When you say he is hesitant to accept the 320 it means one thing: He has other options..

That is exactly what we are talking about here when we say IM and BW are creating a mess in the flt ops.
Such a situation would not arise if the seniority is respected, and the flow goes from the 320 to the wide body to avoid creating such a bottle neck on the 320 fleet.

320 captains are flying about 90- 95 flying hours per month, they are short of about 20 captains!

My question is:

Why hire DECs Non Type Rated on the 330 and 777? not on the 320? and what's the future plan for the 320 drivers?? (beside encouraging resignations?)
