one thing you should understand. this is not North America, Or Europe. things are different here, very different..the thoughts and Ideas are very much different and no one will change that, you must simply accept it, this is not the place to assume you have any human rights at all, no one really give a sh#t about who you are or what you have done, there are over 80 different nationalities in this company, and things are done to meet the standards of the lower common denominator.
think long and hard before coming out here. No one cares if your type rated or not.. yes of course the type rated guys have experience and thats whats needed around here on the 777, and we do have some really good experienced guys on that bird now ( the typed DEC's anyway). but in some peoples eyes your more of a threat than a asset. . Typed guys just takes the pressure off the training department and makes the SIM a bit shorter and easier, everything else is the same and it will take a minimum of 2 to 4 months before released to line if your already rated. add another month to that ( 30 to 45 day) if your not type rated.

this place can frustrate you to the point your head explodes, but in the end it's money in the bank ( not as good as some places) but it there, and thats why we are here isn't it.
