Directly from a 777 interview Capt: they have stopped interviewing FO's (he says he doesn't know why)

DEC's: they have all the applicants they need, and are cherry-picking those they want to offer course dates to. My guess is former pilots? but that is just a guess

I know they are fat on 777 fo's because this entire summer extra leave has been available, which doesn't happen usually....

But we are expected to continue deliveries of 777/380's, many before the end of year, and with ulr expansion whoever is on property will be flying a lot soon

swimming sucks after awhile...good luck
