the CCS message for instructors is for any pilot at the airline.
the surplused 756/777 instructors will need a full QUAL on the new fleet plus A full IOE and full consolidation. Then they will need fleet specific IE training. Anyone from the line that is not current and qualified on the fleet they are hired too will require the same.
the surplused PIs will not be ready to teach until January at the earliest. New hire instructors will be able to instruct before them.
Thanks, good to know. I’ll qualify what I said, then....applications from anyone 10000+ will certainly go straight into the trash. It would have been more honest to announce the furloughs first and then solicit PIs after. At least that way the junior people interested would know to not waste their time.
Also, earlier in the thread you said you wouldn’t rule out them developing an “E-LDRQ” style abbreviated PI training syllabus, correct?
