Couple of questions -
when an airline starts parking its aircraft/ selling them off - eg: UAL and the 747's - how does the seniority/ flying work. Per my information, at UAL the 747 was for the seniormost pilots. Once the 747's are parked would these pilots have to train all over again for command in the 777's - or how would this work.
Finally, once someone is promoted to a Captain (say in a 737) does he move up as a captain. Or will he have to train as an FO in the next category of aircraft before being given command (say 757).
Thanks in advance for your responses.
