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! :)

I think someone may be winding you up.
Next thing you know the FAA will be issuing green cards to all JAA licence holders!
You never know!

Cheers,

Wow, Birdseed, someone has told you a whopper!

The reality is that AA currently has several hundred pilots on furlough (temporarily redundant), as well as many more qualified pilots (many hundreds if not several thousands) waiting for pilot hiring to resume, whenever that happens.

If I were you, I'd consider your "reliable source" to be "not very ... " ;)

Thats one of the best rumours I have heard in a long while!

It will never happen.

Birdseed - the only thing funnier than the rumour itself is that you were sucked in enough to post it!!
