sure the 310's and the 747's might be getting phased out ... but they just might be going back to the lessor. they will definitely be in use and are most certainly out of date.
in any case you've missed the point. even if the a/c were to be out of date. and the company were paying for the rating, then why bother? Even if you get 10 hours on type, you stand to gain! considering that there are

in any case fella's ... give this your best shot. prepare hard. whether you make it or not, you'll be well prepared for the future exams which folllow ...
agent123, spot on, they gotta shell out money from their own pockets for their checks!
