BA are confirming at the moment that crew will be able to hold 4 aircraft licenses during the transition period, so will be able to fly on the 747, 777, 767 and the 787. SEP equipment and procedures are being kept as close to the 777 as possible to assist with the license requirements.

So, crew who wish to work on the new aircraft types are able to register their interest on an internal system, to be put forward for training, which will hopefully start in March 2013, for initial flights in May 2013.

Interesting times.
Out of interest how does this compare to 767 and 777 crew numbers BBB?
