I’ve heard (but just via people making idle comments; no real evidence) the 767 training (initial and recurrent) is “normal”, if that’s the right word. Whereas the 777 instructors are primarily former DC-10 guys who don’t understand the 777 is so ridiculously redundant they have to dream up these wacky scenarios for recurrent and pilots don’t really feel like they’ve learned anything- just survived..

again- just “talk” from the line but is there anything to that?
If they start running upgrade classes again I want to either stay where I am or switch, depending on if any of that is true…
So let me get this straight. The former DC10 guys on the 767 are better than the former DC10 guys on the 777?
