How does Delta staff transatlanic OE flights?
Someone please explain how Delta staffs a north Atlantic 8hrs +, flight with a third pilot when line check airman is conduction IOE or OE. Does the FAA require you to have a 4th pilot so when the line check airman goes for his break the OE student takes a break as well- thus always having two current, qualified pilots on deck?
We are debating this over at UAL.

For TOE, one of the other FO's is released with pay. (The senior one is given the option of staying on the trip.) He is usually notified the night before. In any case, the flight operates with a total of 3 pilots.

How is it technically "legal" to have a pilot who is not signed off yet to be on the flight deck with another FO. (not the PIC/Checkairman)?
