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.

...or better still, wait six months and then pick one up secondhand.

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.
