I heard that Capt. PPrune just got in with Virgin and he must be pushing 50! I think he got the 747 cos all my mates say he has a permanent tan these days. (747 is known as the beach fleet due to number of caribbean and florida destinations).

A JAR license and being a European citizen is enough to have a chance at BA. (It worked for me).
The more experienced pilots (even if type rated on A320) - say over 3000 hrs - will mostly get B777 at BA.

Anyone in the know of "To be considered for long-haul.....min 1000 jet......etc" Is this written in stone?? I“m mainly interested in long-haul....but a few 100 hours short of that but with plenty of total time...

I suspect thats written in stone as you have to be capable of zero flight time conversion for the CAA. If you don't have the hours for ZFT you won't get long haul as they won't be doing base training on a 777.
