Codeshare could mean quids in for Cadets!
I've heard from a very reliable source that American Airlines (a BA codeshare partner) are struggleing to find suitable pilots due to their sustained retirement programme. As a result of this they are likely to be taking many of the current backlog of cadets onto their transatlantic fleets. Usually this would require FAA licences, however rumour has it that BA has approached the CAA and FAA to allow their flight crew to operate American transatlantic flights under the privileges of a JAR FCL license.
Has anyone else heard anything about this?
Sounds awfully good to me!
