LHR - but there have been 3 at LGW, no one really knows the plan, but they are meant to return to LHR

Can anyone fly the LCY-SNN-JFK-LCY flight, or is there only a certain 'pool' of pilots that do this route

Only pilots who have bid to do it and are specially trained (all based on seniority)

Could you upgrade into a captain position on Short Haul, then onto Long Haul as captain? Or are you offered a choice of Captain Position Short Haul or SFO Long Haul?

you will be offered SFO LH first, but you can wait for Captain SH (but pay is better SFO LH than SFO SH)

With regards to bases, 747 is at LHR, is 772 at LGW&LHR, or just LHR or LGW exclusively?

only 737's are LGW - pilots for every other fleet are now LHR based and commute to LGW if needed
