320 right seat to left seat. Were you an October AE award?

You should train in January. Expect to get a letter in December. It’s only been a month.

As the 350 fleet expands and gets more variety, more pilots will be waiting for that fleet, especially with the allure of being in command of a 350-1000 climbing out of JNB or SYD
Being in the bunk for 8/17 hours is the allure of JNB. Besides, unless you are the senior A, are you really in command? Just for grins look at 350 A wide reports to get a count of "Award SYD, JNB, ICN, etc if senior". Unless you are country code seniority, you still aren't guaranteed a trip with your favorite A on the 350. Area codes and below are often A- in the left seat.

Being the ONLY A on the 330 is where the allure of being "in command" comes into play.

So potentially less than a month heads up…. Nice

Last training was 4.5 years ago and I seem to remember about a two month notice.

Haha. Clarification... "In Command" means making 350A payrate.

How long does one need in preparation to go to training? I’ll take this new bidding system for a 1 month heads up than our old method of bidding with a wide window of not knowing what was going on.

But he knows it’s coming and he’s going to train in January. Before you had no idea.

You could never right. I'm 1450 numbers away from most junior WB on this AE....
