I do agree with you that the HKG aircraft transition was not completely thought through BUT in the companies defense (which I very rarely do) the new FAA rule change, in regards to common type rating requirements, went into effect on 3/9/15. I don't think the company could have anticipated such a drastic change from the FAA but it has thrown a huge wrench into their plans and they are having to adjust on the fly.

Reference this link, look at Pg. 2 #7, the real kicker though is #11! A 100 hrs in the 75 AND 100 hrs in the 76 all within the first 120 days for consolidation just isn't doable with our schedules, esp. if your junior!

Now the company knows how we (the pilots) feel when certain language is "interpreted" differently than the way they would like!
