This is a completely pointless thread. No BA F/O in his right mind, (I presume there are a few) is ever going to bid for a GSS command.

1. They simply could not take the hit in salary and allowances.

2. They would soon discover what hard work really is about.

3. They would also find that single-pilot operation on a 744F is not easy (when everyone else has walked off the flightdeck).

4. They would be unlikely to survive their first night stop in one those places where it is very easy to get people blown away (quietly) for USD10.00 with no questions asked.

5. They know nothing of freighting and would be quite useless at trying to negotiate dash in Lagos for example.

6. The whole reason that GSS is doing so well is simply because BA have been completely useless at shifting freight economically ever since the Avro York and even that is in question.
