It hardly fits the calendar, does it? We tried to see how but actually it could work. Still expecting some findings if rigorous checking is perfomed, not that the world would learn about.
Assuming the senior ex-captain was a party poster icon, together with years served and higher age that gets you ahead and beyond everyone else. Keep in mind flight hours make money... Part 121 limits were 1000 annualy bfore 2020 and SIM on top of that yet that might be a part of the listed total experience, including teaching time.
Qatari and Emirates are squeezing 1400 hours from the boys, before factoring. If you're the top-brass surely you can do 8 hours SIM instruction for weeks without setting a foot in the pleasurebox, sharing the income with the junior TRI who would do the actual work .... you get my drift. Seen similar years after the deceased's prime time.
