Kind of a goose/gander, me too thing.
LUAL or LCAL flight instructors who had 1,000 hours or 24 line months as PIC on either property qualified. They are called evaluators in waiting, they are basically in an evaluator pool. I don't know the total number of people who qualify. I think there is only one on the 777 fleet. And no, it's not me. There are a couple on the 756 and couple more on the 737 fleets. I missed it by 200 hours and 2 months.
