It's bigger; what else?
For years things have been fairly 'stationary' on our 737 fleet, with a stable group of pilots & pursers. All of a sudden, conversion fever has taken hold.
A great many of the guys & girls with whom we have worked closely for 5 years are going to the 744 as captain. Discussed with a bunch of colleague pursers over a coffee at the crew centre how we would miss these people (much easier and more fun to work with captains you know and who know you than with newbies) and also that we really had no idea what they get to learn during the fairly long conversion course.
We didn't get further than *a new AOM, *handling a bigger aircraft, *new routes & airports.
Anybody out here who could shed a bit more light on what it actually entails and/or flesh out the details for us?
