To answer the off topic question about surplus pilots. Tridents/737
In the early 80's there were surplus pilots, some of the f/o's who had been flying as pilots for a number of year (all male as BA did not have any female pilots then) were re-deployed as cabin crew for a couple of years until pilots were needed again. They were very pleased to be flying again in any capacity.
