The only other issue is on the TLV flights passengers will stand in the cross aisle and bang their heads against the wall over and over again. I like drum solo’s but not on break!

Cathay Pacific has a dual qual for the 330 and 350 it absolutely could be done here if those pedantic wankers can do it.

This would only benefit Delta pilots if we merged the fleets under A350 pay. If and only then would I agree... and that will never happen folks, men, people, xis and zas.
