Direct Entry
LNB
Dude, check OMA again- 5.1.1 Initial employment - direct entry.
min req for all types specified. A330/40/76 Frozen icao atpl, xxxxhrs, type rating(may be waived).
This covers F/O dir entry at the company's discretion, their a*&es are well and truely covered. It also details Commanders direct entry guidelines on all fleets again-to justify DEC if required. Upgrades are dealt with in the next section 5.1.3.
Whats not covered and is subject to revision is the section 5.2.3.1.6.7 sub section b paragraph i) which states "the habibi network reserves the right to change some if not all the rules at any time for any purpose designated as benefitial to all registered members of the HN covered under subsection a above". (this is available on the new ops cd available at publications today-get yours while its hot)
Gents the long and short of it is, there is no official policy barring DEFO's-widebody, there was an undertaking to say "no more", but I think we know what that means and the value of the paper it was written on.
