So after 6 months, even a year with 800 or so hours, is that person safe to upgrade?
Just to reinforce my statement that NAI's standards for PICs are much higher than US regionals' standards for PICs:
Minimum Requirements
- JAA/EASA License
- JAA/EASA medical Class one
- 5000 hours total time
- 2000 PIC hours on any Boeing aircraft
- 500 hours on B777, B767 or B747-400
- Current B777, B767/B757, B747-400 or B737 type rating
- Under 61 years old at date of application
- Non type rated B777/787 pilots need to provide a training cost bond for three years, decreasing by 1/3 each year
