Hey Kap,
Just so you realize what your dealing with..
Ex-pat FOs who have been asked to urgently respond by March 15 (tomorrow), to register their interest in transitioning to 787/777/330, are unable to get answers yet on how much the 787 programme will cost, what the upgrade route will be, expected training starts..
Basically, they have been told, not to worry about the details, just look at the shinny new toy...great way to make career decisions. Is it indicative of overall business planning? Why must the expats respond within a week, didn't they order these planes in 2007, do they not know the manning requirements, do they not yet, with less than 2 months before the first of 5 787 arrive have a cadre of pilots identified? Perhaps this is why the the 350 has been pushed 2 months. This is just speculation on the pilot side, but what of Maintainence, Cabin Crew etc etc...
A few on this forum, have suggested, last minute planning is SOP. Well for the expat FOs, without question that is the case...
