That is basically where most if not all the difference comes from.
A robust training department which has been granted some cash to be spent on proper pilots training will come up with a proper pilot selection and training for the role of LTC. The footprint to be followed for LTC in EASA land is very basic and generic, hence it will take 2 days for some Operators and 2 months for others. The lack of common FCL rules as for TRI training makes the difference.
