As much as I understand - close, but you would need to hang out a little longer (maybe 2 minutes
) to accomplish:
(Task 4.1 in CO) Perform Cruise Operations:
Nav Accuracy Check
WWO Perform Long Range Navigation Waypoint Passage Procedures
Oceanic Entry
Applicable theater procedures
SelCal Check
SLOP
RVSM
Communications
Driftdown review
Divert review
That segment currency would have to be accomplished for each pilot (obviously including reserve) on each type (330 and 350) every .. 6 or 9 months, I can't remember.
The amount of 4 dudes rotations and challenges of tracking the currency drove the decision to create separate categories at Delta.
Initially, however, there was a debate with bean counters, but when our first initial cadre guys went to train on A350 in the spring of 2015 they all agree on separate categories and the company honored it.
