md-100,

Commands in BA are done in accordance with seniority for those eligible to hold a command (ie. good performance in Base Checks and Line Checks and an hours requirement.)

The hours requirement is:
3500 hours in a Flight Crew operating capacity of which 2500 hours must be as pilot-in-command or co-pilot on civilian public transport aircraft greater than 12.5 tonnes, or military equivalent.
This must include one of the following:
i) 3 years on a British Airways' aircraft with at least 1500 hours as co-pilot on a British Airways' aircraft.
ii) 1 year on British Airways' aircraft with at least 2000 hours as pilot-in-command on civil jet transport of 25 tonnes or greater.
iii) 2000 hours as pilot-in-command on civil jet transport of 25 tonnes or greater.
iv) 1000 hours as pilot-in-command on type.

Seniority permitting, 2,500 total time and 1,000 Hrs. on turbine engine aircraft. May and often has been waived depending on the immediate needs of the company.

RL.

PS Willit -- "Buy Seniority" -- Interesting typo!

1. Licence - Usually an ATPL.

2. Experience - Sufficient, see company Ops manual..

3. Suitability - By assessment and performance.

4. Seniority - Speaks for itself..
