v1 I would say that is a good idea as "experience" can be measured in many ways not just by age. I am sure you are aware of that, despite your posting of age and experience, as it is fairly self explanatory!
To name but a few: Type of aircraft flown, variety of airports visited, take-offs and landings, type of airline/s worked for!!!
IMO these all contribute to experience and would allow people to call themselves "experienced". Up to what level is indeed a fair question.
As per the thread I would imagine the wait for the 330 is a very long one! Consider it in the same timescale as a BA command! Especially as I believe they are ditching one of their fleet which will take them down to 7.
As per the difference in rosters/lifestyles and pay. I had heard that the folk in LGW were unhappy as they were on lower pay scales and the lifestyle wasn't much to rave about. I am happy to be corrected but mine is just hearsay from chatting to a few guys on the staff bus to South Term.
