Apparently GSS "swamped" with applications according to a mate thats trying there.
Hardly surprising. See above.
He's been told they have significant numbers current on -400 that have applied. Wonder where they are from?
Remember that a large percentage of the captains are BA first officers, many of whom may be flying the 400. That could be one explanation.
Possibly the other UK 744 operator is not the paradise that it is rumoured to be?
Maybe from elsewhere in Europe or beyond. Didn't Mexicana just fold? No idea if they operated the 400. Air Atlanta also springs to mind
Reading some of the Middle Eastern threads, lot of people trying to escape and very unhappy etc. I'm certain that there are one or two 744's kicking around out there plus those who fled to the sandpit with ratings and want out.
Don't you just love all the waiting and speculation? I'm off to take another zantac for my ulcer.
