I have a friend who just interviewed. He is non type rated and applied for wide body DEC. He just received his fleet allocation, which is the 787.
So that appears to be a change, before the 78 was pretty coveted but I think as mentioned many of the airbus guys now prefer to hold out for 2014 as the 380/350s arrive.
It appears that training is slowly spooling up for the 380 so would expect early 2014 that there may be that many more positions available as people start to transition to new airplanes
