Time to command, as much publicised and historically speaking very high. With the turbulence we've undergone, some folks have been waiting 15+ years and those on the low end of captain seniority have been demoted/promoted. It's reasonably safe to assume the days of 10 years to command are slowly coming back. That is of course, if the current stability/momentum continues.
CCQ, if the A330 is what you want, you'll have to choose MAN as your base, 3-4 years (regardless of past experience) most likely. Currently time to A330 at LGW is high. Once (if) we get rid of Air Tanker I would imagine things would change very quickly with LH looking like it has been very successful out of both GLA and STN.
Major internal leadership shuffle and a "significant" recruitment campaign starting this winter have just been announced. So glad that this time next year I'll be 50 places up!
