pity they still sticking to the over 30tonne rule though... You could have 10000hours as a PIC on CRJ's but be overlooked for someone who has 3000 tt on a boeing..
Capt. Stephens reflected some flexibility during the Gatwick event, I guess it's worthy to contact him directly to clarify individual parameters. They obeviously have a huge demand, this could be the background for some "special deals" maybe.
