Yet the Chinese official media are typically correct about what they are trying to say. F/O sounds like an F/O, especially if announced on the CAAC News website (did not check myself). Link click here.

Some is easier to imagine, such as a long-time LH instructor having enough of surfing the timezones and coming back to 737 i.s.o. 777/787, some harder. How does 31k hours fit within one lifetime?
I'm curious about this number also. Over 20 years that's flying about 30 hours/week.......every week.
