777->787

Sorry don't have time to search..

How long is the IQ training for a 777 pilot at UAL to check out on 787?
Do you operate 77/78 as one category?

Thank you!

As far as I know there is no IQ training, or even a test, but there probably should be. The transition course is about about 2 weeks for a current and qualified pilot. Aircraft are operated as separate fleets.

Question 1. If the flight time is 10 hours and there are 2 breaks, when will I eat first?

Does the transition course cover the proper way to eat in the bunk room?

I can’t believe how slow things are in DC lately. There hasn’t been any activity in Open Time for the past 10 days.

Is he on the line yet? Would love to hear how he's handling the light twin and how superior the whale was in every imaginable way.

I flew with him recently. He's no fan of the 777 and he makes that clear. Otherwise I found Jerry to be just fine. I'd have no reservations about flying with him again.
