Sorry - I mean resignations from the 777 and 330/340.

I am not aware of any resignations on the 380. However, a shortage of qualified 380 FOs may mean they need to call on the 777 and 330/340 skippers... which will be a problem with the resignations.

I used to hear a lot of talk from skippers about looking for other options but didn't know anyone who had actually resigned. Now I know of 7 guys personally who are working their notice - and FOs tell me they're flying with a few guys who have already resigned.

It's more than I expected despite the usual talk at this time of year.

EDIT: I had forgotten about the DCP 777 (RL) who is also unfortunately on his way.
