Most pilots have been doing full blocks for awhile now. 777 seems to be gaining the undesirable flights while the 380 takes the better ones. 330 mostly crap flights but all 330/340 retired in the next 18 months . Of course there will be those that say the 330 wil never leave. 330 pilots rumoured to being transferred to 380 in October after being told next year. The overall pilot numbers has not increased fir some time. Indicating @ 10% attrition over the past 12/18 months but don't quote me on that. Next year brings a lot of new aircraft but don't know about retirements. Depending on what you read 30 to 50 fleet increase over the next 9 years 250 up to 300. Even some of the early 380 are planned to be retired by then. The orders sound impressive but are mainly replacements.
