MASTEMA--I wish to correct Servos' post slightly. There are in fact 4 chances of Airbus experienced people going straight onto the A330: fat, slim, buckleys and none.

Servo, my understanding is that Ejet FOs will stay there until they get a command. ie: company requirement that 1st promotional move cannot be 'sideways'. It must be an increase in rank. Any variation is subject to company requirements, of course.

New FOs can go onto the Ejet or B737 as FOs (pay for your rating ) or the B777 as CzFOs (rating supplied ). There is currently an excess of pilots at VA/VB and plenty willing to go on the A330. There wont be any more DE FOs or CAs on the B777 either. Many B777 FOs having done the command upgrade school already.
