GSS
Second aircraft arrives next week GGSSB (ex 491MC)
Third aircraft maybe in October 2003
I believe a couple of co-pilots to get command soon(i.e after about 9 months in GSS although ex AACS) Ex-BA Captains range in age from 55-59. Company policy is to upgrade from within rather than take on direct entry captains. Getting experienced co-pilots who would be suitable for an upgrade within a few years even is proving difficult as pay is so poor.
Trips range from two days to ten days but a lot of commercialing at present. I know a few of the Captains who left BA, and they all seem as happy as those who went to SIA although poorer.
