Woah, 5 aircraft. Now that's optimistic. I think there's only been 3 successful command upgrades all year. We would have difficulty taking on one aircraft at this stage. I wouldn't worry too much about the CX SO training at KA. That will have to take the back burner as we somehow up grade 30 A330 captains, pass 30 new A320 captains ( 90% fail rate at this stage) and train 60 new FO s. That is daunting. I'm not saying it can't be done, but it will need a change of philosophy in the checking department.
At the risk of repeating myself, you CX guys are mad. There are a bunch of pilots who haven't even been employed yet by KA who will have commands in 2 years. While you guys sit there as FOs for 10, 15 maybe 20 years before getting a shot. Does that make sense??? We are becoming more and more integrated. Take advantage of it.
Also, 5 aircraft is overkill for just doing KL flights. I'm sure there will be other destinations.
