Yep, it’s not fleet specific.

It’s a strange rule, because you may be in the RHS with 3000hrs on type and the guy/gal in the LHS may have less than 100hrs on type, but they are the ones doing the 40kt xwind landing cause that’s the policy. Don’t think the sim training for the endorsement is any different whether you have 3 bars or 4 bars on your shoulder.
