No more LON requests?
 

Have it on good authority that no more LON requests likely to be honored for HKG based Capts as all LON flights to be crewed by European based Cmdrs in future.

Agree that with sickness etc it's unlikely that no HKG based Cmdrs will get to LON but, and I'm talking 744 of course, since the transfer of all our 'freighter' colleagues to the fleet, it would appear that slots have dried up fast and they'll take up the LON flights from whatever base in europe.

It's just disappointing that together with the imminent loss of the 744 crew rest seats, the chances of getting to LON on a jump seat or as operating crew will have all but evaporated soon.

No idea if 744 LON base is actually full yet, perhaps someone would care to comment.

......all your freighter colleagues were originally pax FO's and have seniority #'s beginning with a 7.... guess yours is a wee bit higher?
......and the majority of them ended up on FRA bases.
....the tune says "I can fly" .... not "I can whine"
