Well Lavdump, I hope I can answer some of your questions:. .. .1. How much time expected from start of training until actual line flying?. .. .a: Usual timescale - we train up at Craneback for 6 weeks or so and then onto base training. From yesterday's meeting it seems they want us on line fairly quickly.. .. .2. Do you get a full 737 type rating?. .. .Yes.. .. .3. How many flight hours do you expect per month - do you know what the tentative schedules will look like in terms of days on/off per week?. .. .CAP371. Dunno about monthly hours yet.. .. .4. Do you have a choice of LGW or MAN or are you assigned a base?. .. .We've been asked where we'd prefer. One is definately going to Manchester, some of the rest of us might go there for a week or so at a time.. .. .Cheers
