Seems as though Ford-USA has made a massive loss this year, and all departments around the world have to make some cuts to try and help the books. It's believed that the sale of the BBJ's will save something like £30 million! Unfortunately all the nice toys like HUD's and winglets will go bye the bye!
The positions are for one new F/O and one Captain, but the hour requirements are very high.
I think the new (-ish) machines are coming from Scandiavia, but I can't for the life of me remember who from.
