I understand what you are saying but, are you being realistic ? Do you agree that the the 330 fleet has approx 230 fo's at the moment and the 777 fleet has more than 60 and growing fast. Please remember that the 777 fleet uses more crews than the 330 as they have and will get more double crew flights such as IAD, JFK and HOU, MLB, GRU, SYD etc etc. So they will and up with more than 250 fo's. That''s about 500 fo's on 777 and 330 together, do you realy think that all those fo's can be upgraded on the 320 ?
Logistically it is not possible simply because the training capacity is not there, and second, it will cost a lot of money !!! Especially for all the boeing guys going back to airbus.......why do you think EK keeps cross fleet training to a minimum ?
Just a thought for a healthy discussion..........
