Question How does one become a Concorde pilot?

I am just qurious as to how one intially becomes a Concorde pilot. Do they need previous fast jet experience or high seniority number?

Secondly, what sort of hours do they fly in a month?

Thanks

No just as long as you have the required seniority within BA you can go on Concorde. There is an interview but it is a rubber stamp to make sure that you realise the length of the course and don't mind New York as a second home.

Concorde will be gone soon. It has been said it will soon be scrapped since its not exactly the biggest profit maker for BA/AF.

You'll get me on my hobby horse with that, things we used to be to do...

- Man used to walk on the moon
- Britain used to have real fighters, real aircraft carriers
- Britain used to build aeroplanes with more than 2 seats....
.... on it's own


And eventually

- We used to have a supersonic airliner...

I have a Ford. And nothing even falls off in mid-drive (flight). Course it was made in '63.
