Sorry to detract from the topic, however BA will ask for A330/A340 time if its for the A350 and 777 time if its for the 777/787. Same way they did when hiring for the 744 in 2011. They started taking non rated guys because they couldnt get appropriate 744 candidates.
BA have a large pool of internal bids awaiting long haul positions. My assumption is these guys will move up the list and the lower part of the list will be filled by type streamed DEPs and FPPs - just how it worked last time. I am told there may be a possibility of some LH recruitment, but it won't be vast.
I know a fecking truck load of guys with A330 and 777 experience who will happily trade their lives at Qatar and Emirates for one in BA.
