i'm just saying the initial part of training is taking longer than usual....
I think you misunderstood when overmars said that it will take 1 year from ground school to 2 bars as ground school in seletar. I'm sure u realise now that what he meant was ground school during conversion training.
Anyway, as far as the 777 fleet is concerned, I don't think they do aircraft training (circuits) in changi anymore, all in senai. And for current SOs, it's now all done in the sim. It's also been taking about an average of 7-8 months for SOs to check out as FOs. I think the cargo guys are actually a little faster.
