Whatever course you are offered regardless of shorthaul or longhaul, take the first offered, seniority is king! From what I have been told by trainers I've flown with recently courses restart from December on the A320! Not sure about longhaul. The latest bid results are due out over the next week or two (for fleet transfers, commands etc), so a major load of training planning will be going ahead between now and Xmas is my guess! Lots of movement going on throughout BA!
