If you use 18-20 years as a benchmark, you’ll be about right. It may go slightly more junior than that but it’s the holy grail for most people so don’t expect it to go wildly junior. My first opportunity for a LH command was at eighteen and a half years. It’s currently sitting at about 18.

I do do a lot of short (three day, two crew) trips on the 400 but that suits me. The senior mostly seem to head for South Africa.

I’d say it is currently sitting at 19 years. I’m hoping for one at between 19 and 20 years, although I suspect there may actually be a blip upwards next year so it may take 21.

Don’t forget, however, that long haul is increasingly the long term future of this company.

Just logged in to check my application (sent a month ago), and it just says submitted. I'm guessing they just have a huge volume that they're working through

I haven't attended but a friend has and he said they've ditched the crosshairs and shapes test.

I did the assesment 2 years ago, I have heard from friends who have done it that they have ditched the crosshairs test. So just Maths, Verbal Reasoning and TCAS type computer test. It sounds like they have also increased the time limit on the maths test but might be wrong?

I understand they got rid of their old Verbal reasoning test and replaced it with an "easier" one, can anyone confirm if the Maths test is still the same one?
