There’ll still be a RIN needed for any 747 crew who didn’t take VR or ER, but the training out of that will be well into the future.
How do you know that these numbers get them where they want to be and no further redundancy is needed? The word is the RIN will occur before years end as they wish to get the training done while the sim centre in Sydney is operating.
