Are you saying going from A330 to A350 is a differences course? I thought that was a full school.

I put my requested off days in the OE/Training off request in iCrew, but other than that haven’t had any contact with OE planner at all. My OE will be done before any of my requested off days.

No info about the differences OE. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable is lurking.

Spoiler alert: a new variant will appear. Then a variant after that. It’s a virus!!! It’s not hurricane season that has a beginning and and end. It’s transitioning from pandemic to endemic. It’ll be here forever. Like the flu, common cold, etc.

This omicron variant is making people realize that COVID isn’t killing everyone. People are still traveling. Half of my family and friends have omicron right now. Obviously mRNA isn’t the way long term. Obviously a fabric mask isn’t working.

Allllll of these people are getting Covid, and life is going on.

Delta is already behind staffing wise. My category doesn’t have 25% of the required reserves on a single day in January. Formerly known as a slow month.

But yes sailing, this is a good thing. So that when June rolls around we can “run a little hot.” Good lord.

330 to 350 is 10 days. Going the other way is a full IQ.
I'm hoping that also means a shorter OE and consolidation requirement, but can't find a data source.

Sorry I can’t help you with your question, but thank you for answering mine. I thought the 350 was too different and required a full course. Thanks for clearing that up.

The next variant is already here.

Does anyone have the actual number of new WB aircraft we will receive this year?

Statements like these from pilots that have no background in specific scientific fields are hilarious.

Meh....it's the 350. The real challenge is display management and trying to find your cursor. 😁
