There is going to be massive open slots for 74 ANC. Many ANC guys are bidding for SDF, per Mock Bid #1, although the current 74 ANC folks will not require any additional training. I suspect those will hold, unlike the rest of the first mock/test bid. We have 3 full time 74 sims available, don’t know the instructor staffing issue.

Many 74 instructor volunteers are still waiting for their checkout training to commence. However, we are either catching up or there’s a slow down in training as classes are smaller and spread out further apart. We could easily train more and just 6-12 months ago did just that.

So the meaning of ‘indefinitely’ depends on how much longer the feds will allow us to teach in a device which doesn’t accurately represent airplanes we fly.
Maybe we’ll petition for an FMS Cargo Carve-Out?...

You mean the same Fed that allows us to operate 75/76 with 3 different engines, with 2 different cockpits, and MULTIPLE pretty significant differences between old, new, leased, winglets, non winglets, etc? That Fed statement is a little naive
