Its funny to see how this dual type rating things keeps popping its head up from time to time....
As far as I am concerned, its part of the famous carrot strategy of QR. They will tell you whatever you want to hear in order to make you reconsider a possible resignation for a couple of months longer.
Just like the upgrades, the B777 transfers, the provident fund, the bidding system, etc.....
A320 is suffereing at the moment, A330 capt OK but they will need them all when the 777s start coming..
Very interested to see how they will be able to resolve the current situation this time....
By the way....what is happening on the A300 fleet? Who will be the poor guys being stuck forever on the jurassic parc airplanes? The political games going on there must be really interesting to watch!
