Does the Speedbird pilot academy only train you for the A320, or can you have a preference as to which aircraft you train for your Type Rating on, like the B787, or A350?

Hi Maxwell.
The Speedbird Pilot Academy will train pilots towards becoming a short haul pilot for British Airways which would currently be the A320.
Once in the airline and after that the initial freeze, sufficient hours and seniority you can bid to move to a long haul fleet.
I hope this helps.
