Stampe,

Why don't you contact StressFree.
He's a good UK BBJ-driver and maybe wouldn't mind helping you out with info.

Regards

Ford operate 2 BBJ out of Stansted and you never know may recruit soon the only problem you may have is that command availabilities are few and far between in the job and there are at least 4 there already with the experience to be captains so you could expect a long wait (unless you bump off a few of them)
Good job,schedule flying on the BBJ and good corporate stuff on the G4
There are a couple of other operators at stn but not sure who they are
best of luck with the quest

Nelly,
4 at STN with the hours for a command??
Surely youre not including yourself in this!
Humour old chap, only humour. Hope you had a good cruise.

StressFree, sorted out the "problem" of approach speed on the BBJ yet?
They are good though aren't they. Nearly as good as the G5 ;)

Cobra,
Youre right the BBJ is an excellent machine with (so far) no big dislikes. I havnt come across an problem with approach speed yet, can you enlighten me. Thanks.

G'day StressFree
Thought I read in an earlier Message you were still adjusting to "approach speed"
I must have been mistaken.
I have noticed on C&T the odd pilot flaring too high, especially on a wide runway(due depth perception). On occasion,I have also noticed late flare on narrow(say 75 feetish) runway.
Enjoy the BBJ
