Its all very quiet at the moment so I recently rang GSS to find out what's happening. Lots of applications received so prority going to guys with TRs but not enough of them for the number of places available. Main requirement is the 3000hrs and 500 ME turbine.
The delay in 747 8Fs will have no effect on things. They are drawing up interview list at moment with invites going out in next 3 weeks.
All the best
