I meet the wide body minimums but I am wondering if a low-experience first officer like myself would have trouble making it through type training with an ATP in a 767/777/747. I have not been through any sort of 121 training. Is it likely that I would even be hired onto a wide body with my flight experience?
I’d imagine the transition would be a lot to stomach. My hunch tells me they would prefer applicants with 121 time, but in this day and age, it may be worth a shot applying now with no prior 121 time with the way hiring has been going. It’s been done before with applicants with no prior 121 time, though you would likely need to study harder than your classmates who have prior 121 experience.
