Fully agree with Goretex re the training flights. Try and bid for a 775 in April, and the list of pre assigned duties shows the vast majority gone to training. (And I thought there was a limit to how many could go training). One could always join training but then, why would one do so when being by-passed for the 380? Between a rock and a hard place. As I read the new FCI, the doors are open for 777 pilots to bid over to the 380. Although it cannot be commercially viable to allow it, it would further delay those waiting for a 380 course. Smallbus fleet really shafted, as ever
