As GS said, it's not impossible, but you'll need to be vigilant keeping an eye on the lists to see if a gap appears that you can then request. You should be in in time for S25 bid but dont hold me to...

Possibly, though its very varied. Just come in with your expectations set realistically about what JSS is and how it is working in reality at the moment. It may well take 4-5 years to see more than 1...

1% = top of the list, been here the longest, 100% = newest person on the fleet bottom of the list. so 40% has been here a good while - probably c.5 years on SH airbus?

You get 2hrs to the car park for a HSB callout, so if that's a reliable 1:30 and won't regularly become 2:30 with traffic, then i'd say thats easily doable. People live much further away than that....
