you are correct not every displacement requires training. There are a lot of variables that go into how much training will need to be done. the training department has REQUAL foot prints it can use.
RQ1 - really won’t be used as it’s only for a missed CQ by 3 months. 2days
RQ2 - 4 months to 24 months. And you need greater than 300 hours in the fleet and seat. 8 days
RQ3 - 25 months to 60 months. You need greater than 1000+ hours in the fleet and seat. 11 days
short upgrade- it might work for short downgrade I’m not sure. 14 days
there has been so much movement the past 5 years that the chances of people having 1000 hours in a single fleet and seat is low. So the magic number is really 24 months. If. A pilot has been on their current fleet and seat for 24 months or more they will most likely need a full QUAL.
the other variable is no one ever knows how. A pilot will bid. A 787 pilot May have 1000 hours as a 737 FO but they may elect to go the the 756 or the A320 triggering a full Qual.
you make it sound so simple but unless you take the time to show me your numbers I’m going to stick with the thought that is hard.
