I’m trying to recall the details of the last VR package offered a couple of years back. A RIN is likely quite a lot more expensive.
I remember it was limited to who could take it by rank and fleet (747/767?), but the more exact details of it escape me. I also recall that pretty shortly after it was completed they ended up with a shortage on the 747 and had to train back onto it... thats obviously unlikely to happen this time.
