3123 at the last seniority list publication.

With retirements during the year now probably just under 3000 as mentioned

For those long haul swimmers in the pool, BA have pulled non type rated people out for a 777 cse starting early March.

I can concur with Airbrake, an ex-military mate was informed 1 week after his sim that he had 777s early Mar.

For Shaka Zulu, apparently you get a sim brief with power settings etc the day before your sim - crew coop the key.

Rest easy in the knowledge that he will be joining the seniority list in his rightful place - the bottom.

And wearing two stripes.
I was led to believe that this particular insult had been addressed. Three stripes for those with superior experience?

Are you mocking those who have been decorated for serving Queen and Country,risking life and limb in hostile territory?

This while you lie in a comfortable bed at night?

Free because of the likes of me, and my sort, that went before.

Disgrace.

obviously you have not been in the military, your so called banter on here is not queens flying club.

However I do like the humour, even if you are a civvy
