No, First Officers (co-pilots) must stay on the fleet for a
minimum of 5
years (and after 5 years they are not forced to leave - but
every co-pilot
wants to be a captain one day!!). Captains on Concorde must
stay for 10
years - but if you are senior enough to get onto Concorde as
a captain you
will probably retire before 10 years (we retire at age 55 years).

Jean Boyé en a vu d'autres. Avec 17 700 heures de vol
à son compteur, cet ex-pilote de chasse de l'armée
de l'Air, commandant de bord du Concorde F-BVFA à destination
de New York, monte serein, ce vendredi d'avril 1988, dans son
cockpit profilé. A onze heures précises, il roule
sur la bretelle d'entrée de la piste 27 de l'aéroport
de Roissy. Temps clair, vent calme et ambiance euphorique, le
pilote s'apprête à entamer son troisième
vol d'adaptation en ligne avec en cabine quatre-vingts passagers.

Cabin Crew
Cabin crew are specially selected and trained to anticipate
the needs of Concorde passengers. Originally Concorde cabin
crew came from longhaul and became permanent Concorde crew,
there are still 50 core cabin crew, but a new sytem is in operation
now. Cabin crew put their name on a permanent list open to cabin
crew worldwide. Every quarter a number of applicants are chosen
for interview, through these interviews 12 are selected to replace12
of the current crew. Cabin staff only work for a maximum of
3 years, this is to give as many people as possible the chance
to work on Concorde. The selected crew are given an extra 5
days customer service training and 2 days SEP training.
Each Concorde flight has at least 6 cabin crew, with at least
one Purser and there are approximately 220 Concorde cabin crew.

Captain John Hutchinson, who flew Concorde for British Airways
for 15 years, says that the supersonic jet remains one of the
safest aircraft in the skies despite the tragic crash in France,
which killed more than 100 people.
