A good friend is just starting a class in France for the type rating. He flies the A300/A310 now. Is an 8 week class.
Another friend who flies for Cathay is in line for it. Says (jokingly) that a number of suggestions have come up.
- Says he could do the takeoff, turn the plane over to a cruise crew, change clothes in the crew rest area, go to the bar, drink for 3 hours, go back to the crew rest area, sleep for 10 hours, and report back to duty as Captain for the landing.
- Says all crews assigned to the plane will need to do double duty on the long flights as either a masseur or a bartender in the bowling alley.
- the HongKong-New York nonstop will need 4 cockpit crews to complete.
