"PS Heard that DEC BA @ LGW might be opening up sooner rather than later."
If you'd excuse and indulge an interested observer a moment of thread drift, are you saying that your long-established legacy carrier, British Airways, will/might be taking on DECs ?
Assuming a seniority list is in effect there, how would DECs jive with the seniority system that would normally govern attempts at upgrade for existing FOs ?
I get the impression I've misunderstood something here.
Thanks...
Yes.
Expansion at LGW (London Gatwick) and a big lack of volunteers from the mainline ranks means there is a very high likelihood of requirements for A320 DECs into BA in the near future.
Check with any BA flight deck colleagues to have this confirmed.
BA will have gone through to the bottom of the seniority list and looked at the bidding and there will still be a number of vacancies for A320 captains at LGW - hence DEC.
