A320 Type Rating to 777 Rating

An A320 Type Rating to Boeing Type Rating Possible?
Without investing your own money for 777 Type Rating.

Honestly, all i dream was to fly the best twin single engine in the world. From its shape to its GE90's. I could describe a lot about this airplane. The thing about A320 rating. because it is necessary with the current state of aviation around the world.

Of course it's possible. Get a job with a 777 operator! A mate of mine just joined Etihad .. had been flying the bus before his move to the 777.

An Airbus is not a Boeing. If I understand what you're asking, no you cannot show your A320 rating and get a 777 rating. The only thing similar between the two is that they're both Jets.

For someone like myself, to go from the 737NG to the 777 is I think 3-4 sim sessions.

Now, you can of course train to become a 777 Pilot, ideally not at your own expense -but- many Airlines now days hire Type rated or "similar" experience Pilots, which usually means Airbus -> Airbus or Boeing -> Boeing.

Maybe you should start your training first before you worry about minor details such as the types of airliners that you wish to be endorsed upon.

My apologies however if you've managed to start your training and got your licence in the last 16 days since you posted the following:

Boeing and Airbus have courses designed for type ratings based on previous experience. B737NG to B777 is a shorter course than B737-200 to B777. Never flown any of the manufacturers aircraft before is the longest one.

Airbus have designed for easy transition between types and A320 to A3330 can be done in about five days.

If you send me your license (original), copy of medical and last three pages of logbook, I can endorse you B777 rating for minimal administrative charge.
This is now possible under new legislation for examiners holding more than three types and with more than five years of TRE experience.


send me a private message or write your email here.


Best regards,
Pablo

Thanks you all guys for all the advice you had given to me. And to pablo. but like i said, just like others here, it seems my faith have already destined me for an A320 Type Rating, long before i realize it. Considering with the status of our airline industry here. Plus, a bunch of newly established airbus simulator here that is associated by airbus company. And most of companies here are no longer operating an Boeing 737 atleast. Probably, my best chance are to go to middle east, after gathering enough experience. Since, they are very open for every opportunity, regardless of where you came from. and the union is united as one. as i have already dreamt to fly as well with one of the most recognize international carriers out there, long before my parents realize it. But ofcourse, if there is an opportunity to be given to me to fly a B777, anywhere in the world. i would dare to pursue it, wherever it is located. If it's boeing, im going!

Holy sheep**** man, can I come watch your interview. Should be funnier than a Youtube Aggro bloopers vid.

"Aggo - are you always so rude?"
"Does Kay Kottee masturbate??? Aaaah hah ha hah"
