Isn't it funny how PPRUNE is the last to know what is really going on

I presume the 320 offers mentioned above were to FPP cadets and not DEP.

I know people in low places and dark corners but PPrune seems to know before me and most of the time before BA too.

The point I was making is that the offers etc had been out for a number of weeks but that those in the know had elected to keep stum. PPRUNE is not the font of all things aviation.

As was mentioned by others a few posts back, defo a handful of offers for the triple, and I think a few for the 744.

As someone on the 744 in BA, we're definitely short of FOs...loads of uncovered work and the caps are high!

60+ are leaving the fleet in the first quarter heading to long haul fleets and are in training at the moment.

FOs on long term sick, FOs dossing about giving power point presentations on JSS whilst the rest of us work our asses off, the CAPs will always be high.

With a guess of around 600 FOs SH at LHR, a reduction of 7 FOs for JSS training brings a CAP of 90 hours to 91 hours. I can see why you're working a lot harder. Poor you!

I’ll admit to sometimes wondering about some of the reps time, but before chucking brickbats I suppose someone has to ask: have those doing the JSS training been pulled off line to do so or are they just doing the “job” in their normal BALPA days but are visible for once.

FWIW there’s at least one Longhaul C status list where CAP is well above normal and I somehow doubt that is down to individuals getting involved in JSS training.....

Basically everybody on a fleet with working engines seems to be pretty busy....
