T7 300 Er
After flying for 2 yrs as F/O on NGs was upgraded to T7 300 ER. Trained at Alteon Singapore, in Jan/Feb and have done a couple of flts from BOM to LHR as observor. Now being sent to N.Z. to fly LOFT with Air New Zealand for a few months. After which will operate as line F/O.
Apparently, the company has recruited many expat line Capts at the moment, both left & right hand seats being flown by them. A whole batch of Indian Capts will be soon returning from N.Z. fully endorsed to fly these new aircraft.
What the company may now be looking at is TRI & TRE positions for this type, and maybe F/Os later as new aircraft start coming in, though there are many Indian F/Os waiting in line to upgrade.
